A young Cuban is murdered in Havana.

Vladimir Hinojosa Jiménez, a young Cuban father of a small child, was killed this weekend allegedly in a fight, for reasons that are unknown.

Hinojosa Jiménez -known to his close friends as "Papo"- lived with his partner, Melissa Oviedo Zarauza, and their son in the neighborhood of Martín Pérez, in the Havana municipality of San Miguel del Padrón.

Melissa -identified on social media by her last names- has expressed her distress over the loss of her partner and father of her child, little Fabián.

"Tell me it’s a lie, that I won’t kiss you again, that you won’t come home with our Fabi, that I won’t have you by my side again. Damn, my black, my tank! You left an immense pain and void in my soul. I love you, f...! Why did you leave me? Why?" he wrote in a post.

"We will love you forever. Give me strength, my tank, to raise our son. I love you, my black," she noted in another post.

In both posts, dozens of people encouraged and supported him to take on the raising of their baby alone from now on.

However, from Brazil, the mother of the deceased young man - Bárbara Jiménez González - indicated signs of family breakdown by blaming her daughter-in-law for what happened.

Beyond the circumstances of the murder, of which there are no confirmed details, the death of Vladimir Hinojosa Jiménez casts a shadow over another Cuban family in a context of worrying increases in all forms of violence in Cuba.

In recent weeks, hundreds of Cubans are increasingly resigned to the daily reports that testify to a rise in violence on the island.

Cuba has become an unsafe country for more than two years now. Violent acts occur daily, and unlike in other times, the regime can no longer silence families who report bloody events and who, in the worst cases, mourn the loss of a loved one.

At least 18 people died in Cuba in July as a result of the growing wave of violence affecting the island, according to figures reported by the Cuban Observatory of Conflicts (OCC).
