A young woman has been shot dead by a mystery gunman while walking to work in the morning.
Daniela Estefanía Saa López was heading to her job at a bakery when the hitman struck.
The suspect parked his motorcycle on the side of the road while waiting for the victim, 28, to pass by.

Without saying a word, he approached Daniela from behind and shot her four times in the back.
He then jumped on his motorbike and fled the area of Cundinamarca in the Colombian city of Cúcuta, located near the border with Venezuela.
Local residents tried to help the victim but she passed away at the scene on Friday (30 Aug).
Daniela had been working at the bakery for over two years.
It is unclear why she was allegedly targeted by a professional hitman.
She was the first of two victims to be shot dead in Cúcuta on the same day.
The authorities suspect the same gunman was responsible for seriously injuring a pharmacy worker hours after killing Daniela.
Local media said the hitman travelled to the drugstore on a motorbike and fired several shots at Luisa Fernanda Camacho Pacheco, 34, as she served him from behind the counter.
Footage shows the suspect coolly removing a firearm with a silencer from his bag before apparently shooting Luisa several times at close range.
She survived the alleged murder attempt but remains in hospital in a critical condition, as reported by Need To Know.
The gunman remains at large as the investigations into both shootings continue.
