Relatives of the victim reported that, before dying, Jean Carlos Toribio sent a voice note in which he identified the alleged attacker, an element that is part of the evidence analyzed by the authorities during the investigation.

According to preliminary information, the conflict allegedly originated from differences related to the separation of the deceased’s sister and her ex-partner. Family members maintain that Toribio had confronted the now-accused on several occasions in defense of his relative, because the latter allegedly insisted on resuming the romantic relationship.

The homicide caused dismay in Villa González, where family members, friends, and community members held a march to demand justice for the young man’s death.

Meanwhile, the judicial process will continue with the defendant in pretrial detention, awaiting the next stages of the case.
