Authorities have apprehended Alain Guadarrama Torres this Thursday, identifying him as the perpetrator behind the fatal shooting of a man in broad daylight. The incident, in which the suspect fired twice using a revolver, was reported by the Ministry of the Interior's spokesperson page, "Con Todos La Victoria," on Facebook.
The tragic event unfolded around midday at the intersection of Martí and América streets, right in front of the Mai Mai bar, located in the Colón municipality of Matanzas province.
Family and friends have identified the victim as Michael, who was popularly known by the nickname "Nariz partida."
"Two individuals, neither of whom were saints, with personal grudges, engaged in a confrontation that ended disastrously. One pulled out a Smith & Wesson revolver and, within moments, fired two shots that resulted in the other's death," explained the regime's spokesperson profile.
"Con Todos La Victoria" emphasized that this was "an unfortunate incident illustrating how personal conflicts, when mixed with firearms, can turn a neighborhood's routine into a scene of sorrow."
Following the tragic shooting, government authorities swiftly intervened, capturing the perpetrator responsible for the violent act.
The suspect is now in custody, and according to official information, Guadarrama had previously been imprisoned for seriously injuring another person with a knife years ago.
The detail of the getaway was corroborated by Jorge Álvarez, an acquaintance of the deceased, who stated that Michael was shot in the head from a white tourist car whose passengers fled the scene after the attack.
The arrest was confirmed by several locals on social media. Dayi Mendez posted: "The guy is already behind bars." Noslen Ramírez, who happened to be passing by at the time of the crime, also confirmed: "True, I was there when it happened."
