Santo Domingo.- Melania Rosa, a resident of the Villa Mercedes sector, Los Javillones, in San Cristóbal, came to De Último Minuto to report that both she and several members of her family have allegedly been the target of threats, harassment, and attempted assaults following an incident that occurred on June 6th in that area.
According to his account, he fears for the safety of his family members, especially his children, due to a series of situations that he claims have occurred since one of them was arrested in a case in which another person lost their life.
“I come to make a call to the authorities to protect us, because my children and I are in danger,” expressed Rosa during her report.
The woman explained that her son was detained for an incident that occurred in the Villa Mercedes sector, Los Javillones, and maintains that he acted in self-defense. According to her version, she has videos and other evidence that, she claims, show that the victim had approached where her son was and had fired several shots at him before the fatal outcome occurred.
