We all follow, with intention or not, everything that happens in the "Pokemon GO world", read articles and marvel at the players' reactions and exaggerations. Besides the funny parts, Pokemon Go has also caused a series of problems around the world since it was launched.
Thus, the first death caused by Pokemon Go was recorded. Jerson Lopez de Leon, a teenager only 18 years old, was killed in an ambush, and Daniel Moises Picen, his 17-year-old cousin, was wounded, on a street in the city of Chiquimula, Guatemala, after they had were caught in the vicinity of a stranger's house, while the 2 were trying to catch one of the Pokemon GO characters.
20 used cartridges were found by the local police at the scene of the crime, where the two young men were trying to capture the pokemon. Jerson Lopez de Leon died at the hospital, and his cousin was treated for leg wounds caused by bullets fired by an unknown person.
"I don't know why my son left the house. He was already in bed when his cousin texted him telling him to go outside to download a game a few houses away."
~ said Rosalinda, the mother of the 18-year-old boy.
