Daniel Josías Reyes Rivera
On May 30, 2018, between 4:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m., members of the National Police, armed paramilitaries, members of the Sandinista Youth and motorized shock groups linked to the government attacked the Mothers’ March in the vicinity of the Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería (UNI). Daniel Josías Reyes was participating in the march and reached the main gate sector of the UNI, where according to witnesses, snipers stationed at strategic points shot at the protesters.
Reyes was shot in the abdomen and was transported to the Vivian Pellas Hospital, first by motorcycle and then in an ambulance along with another seriously wounded patient. He died there during surgery around 7:00 p.m. due to massive internal hemorrhaging.
