Several Cuban artists have responded to the petition to gather signatures initiated by Teresa Padrón, manager of the late Cuban reggaeton artist El Taiger, which demands that the Miami-Dade prosecutor's office charge Damián Valdez-Galloso with first-degree murder.
Teresa had written in one of her Instagram stories: “Today I want to ask all artists to please come together and support me in gathering signatures for the petition for the justice that José deserves.”
The call has received support from representatives of the urban genre such as Oniel Bebeshito, El Yonki, and Wow Popy, as well as from private businesses that also want to show their support for this initiative seeking justice. Among these businesses are Vision World Professional Optical Services and the digital creator La Balsa Cubana.
Ani Dieppa, the partner of El Yonki, also joined in by posting a video on her Instagram, urging Cubans to support this request.
The petition for signatures was created on Friday, demanding that the authorities charge Damián Valdez with first-degree murder.
So far, the individual responsible for the death of El Taiger is facing a charge of second-degree murder, an accusation that, according to the petition, "does not fully reflect the severity and intent of this crime. This classification undermines the loss suffered by the family, friends, and community of José Manuel Carvajal."
Many Cubans in Miami have joined her to demand justice for the Cuban reggaeton artist, and the petition has already gathered over 24,000 signatures.
