Facts

Víctor Reynaldo was walking near the police station of Guadalupe, when he was shot in the back of his head—the bullet remained lodged inside—and was wounded by a machete in his arm.

According to relatives of Víctor Reynaldo Reyes Pérez, his “sin” was having walked through the Guadalupe barrio just when shock forces, paramilitaries and police were attacking the barricades there, on the night of June 12.

His mother, Reyna del Carmen Torres, laments the fact that he was left on the ground to bleed to death. No one went to help him. “What they did to him was tragic and unjust.” They were told at 7:00 p.m. that his corpse was in the morgue of the Oscar Danilo Rosales Argüello Teaching Hospital (HEODRA). His body was delivered the next day, since the city center was still filled with barricades. They had to move him in a pushcart, from the morgue to the Primero de Mayo neighborhood, where his wake was held. He was buried on Thursday, June 14, in the San Felipe cemetery.
