Santo Domingo.- Exactly one year ago, the country was shocked by the news of the death of the influencer Dioelmi Cabrera, known as “El de lo video”, along with his wife, in a traffic accident that occurred in San Cristóbal.
In the early hours of October 14, 2024, on Bernardo Alíes street, Lava Pies sector, in San Cristóbal, Dioelmi Cabrera and his partner, identified as Johanna Vélez, were traveling on a motorcycle when they were hit by a CRV-type SUV. The impact was of great magnitude: the accident occurred at approximately 3:50 a.m. Witnesses and images circulating on social media show how the SUV invaded the opposite lane, causing the tragic outcome.
Upon the arrival of emergency services, they were unable to do anything to save them. Both died at the scene of the accident.
Before his death, Dioelmi Cabrera had positioned himself as a popular figure on social media thanks to his spontaneous style of humor. His videos showed him talking loudly on the phone in public, reacting to his surroundings, singing, or simulating funny situations with the aim of provoking genuine reactions from the public.
Shortly before his death, he had been recognized at the Glamour Music Awards as “Influencer of the Year,” an achievement he celebrated with his wife, who actively supported him as part of his content creation team.
A year after his passing, the memory of “The Video Guy” remains alive among his followers, family, and colleagues in the digital world. On social media, tributes have multiplied, with posts featuring his quotes, iconic videos, and messages from those who claim that his laughter and energy continue to inspire.
Although the case is considered an accident, some versions have suggested the possibility of more complex implications, but so far nothing beyond the official report has been confirmed.
