The vehicle was driven by Jeffry N\u00fa\u00f1ez King, who left the scene after the incident.\n\nAccording to eyewitnesses, the victim was dragged by the motorcycle, which caused a cervical fracture and severe bleeding from the mouth, nose, and ears. After the incident, N\u00fa\u00f1ez King went to his residence, took a shower, went to his workplace, and later informed his mother about what happened.\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ab.deultimominuto.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2.webp\" alt=\"Acusado de atropellar a Carlos Flores \" class=\"wp-image-491678\" style=\"width:244px;height:auto\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Acusado de atropellar a Carlos Flores <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\nThat same day, neighbors gave the Flores family security camera recordings. Jeffry N\u00fa\u00f1ez King was identified and later surrendered to the authorities. According to family members, he was informally received by some agents at the headquarters of the General Directorate of Security and Ground Transit (<a href=\"https:\/\/digesett.gob.do\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/digesett.gob.do\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DIGESETT<\/a>).\n\nYou can also read: <a href=\"https:\/\/ab.deultimominuto.net\/nacionales\/asaltan-a-empleado-farmacia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">They assault a pharmacy employee<\/a>\n\nOn May 9, the defendant&#8217;s father visited the scene to review additional cameras. Some witnesses who initially collaborated retracted their statements. Only two recordings of the event were preserved.\n\nDuring the first hearing, held on May 10, the judge imposed periodic reporting and a financial guarantee as coercive measures. No proof of residency or employment letter was required. The victim&#8217;s family expressed their disagreement with the decision.\n\nThe judicial process has presented some irregularities denounced by the family members, including the alleged disappearance of videos from the file, the lack of documents in the INACIF, and indications of the accused&#8217;s links with influential people. It was also reported that Nu\u00f1ez King was involved in a previous accident with another injured person.\n\nA year after the event, the main trial continues at the DIGESETT headquarters without a final sentence.\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amidst much sadness and helplessness, journalist Maura Flores cries out for justice for her father.
