Not Even Safe In Their Own Homes
Another victim falls to the criminals. Daniel Alberto Carrizo, 19, was washing his car in the parking lot in front of his house when he as jumped by four young men bearing firearms. The criminals took Daniel through the door of the laundry and subsequently entered the house, where there were five more members of the family. All had their hands tied and they were thrown to the floor. This assault occurred at 8:30 pm on Monday evening in Hato Pintado, when all of the members of this family had returned from their jobs and college. Two of the criminals went upstairs and started filling bags with the property they intended to steal. The other two were guarding the hostages, to whom they said they would not do anything. Within minutes, officers of the National Police arrived at the house. Upon arriving and seeing the water running from the hose and the doors hanging open they decided to enter. That was when one of the robbers saw the policemen and there was an exchange of fire, in which Daniel was shot in the head. Two of the criminals were shot in the legs. One is Gil Ernesto Gonzalez, 19, and the other is a 16 year old minor. Both had 9mm handguns. The other two are fugitives. Max Lopez, a close family friend, asks that justice be done and they do not want what happened in this household to happen to another family, it is a very painful loss. Alejandro, David's brother, who still had the marks on his wrists from where he was tied up, described Daniel as an obedient young man who was studying marketing at the USMA, attended church and helped his father at work. The young man's funeral will be tomorrow at 11:00 am Christian House of Prayer in Santa Elena. (Source: Dia a Dia)
