Police said gunshots rang out around 2 a.m. in the area.
An empty shell for a .45 caliber pistol was recovered from the crime scene.
Senior Insp. Franco Rudolf Oriol said the victim’s relatives told investigators the man had once confided that he failed to remit the proceeds of sales of illegal drugs.
