The 2017 Lima shooting (Spanish: Tiroteo de Lima de 2017) was a mass shooting that began on February 17 and ended on February 18, 2017 at the Royal Plaza shopping center, located in a disputed area between the districts of Independencia and San Martín de Porres, and to a lesser extent in a sector of the district of Los Olivos, in northern Lima, Peru. As a result of the event, 5 people lost their lives and 9 were injured. The perpetrator of the shooting was identified by the police as Eduardo Glicerio Romero Naupay, a 32-year-old man born in the city of Huánuco. Romero had previously served in the Peruvian Navy, where he obtained a license to bear arms. During the shooting, he was killed by Lorenzo Machaca Esquía, a 29-year-old non-commissioned officer who was in civilian clothes at the time of the shooting. It is believed that the motive for the attack was the eviction of his mobile stand selling salchipapas and hamburgers, which had happened the day before because he was in a restricted area and did not have a license to operate as a vendor.
