Osmani García has touched hearts with a deeply emotional message on his Instagram account after the tragic death of his friend and colleague El Taiger.

Along with a video of a performance of "Tírame la música" with Los Desiguales, Osmani wrote: "El Taiger never died, his life was stolen #justiceforjosemanueleltaiger."

In his message, the singer promised to always remember his friend "young singing with me with the dream of life realized in his eyes in front of thousands and thousands and thousands."

"I promise I will always remember you young, singing with me with the dream of life realized in the eyes in front of thousands and thousands and thousands who raised their hands in love for the Light that emits joy, united only by the feeling of love for music and sound, which was how you should have truly lived your whole life if it weren't for the Cuban dictatorship… that fractured the existence of all the souls born there," he said in his heartfelt post.

Their pain and indignation culminated in a clear call for "justice for José Manuel Carbajal, we hope they catch the culprit, whether inside or outside the USA."

Osmani's call did not stop there; he also warned about the danger represented by the culprit still at large: "All of Florida is on alert and in danger with the culprit loose on the streets... who comes up to you and claims to be a friend."

"You conquered eternity, José, while humanity exists, the music of Taiger will exist," Osmani concluded his farewell message, reaffirming that his friend's legacy will live on forever.

In his stories, the 'Chiquitio de Cuba' once again insisted on this call for justice, warning that "the murderer is still at large, unbelievable," reflecting his frustration over the lack of progress in the case.

The followers and friends of El Taiger have also joined the cry for justice and expressions of sorrow, as seen in the comments on Osmani's post: "Men cry too"; "So many memories come to mind when I hear these great songs, we are going to miss his music"; and "He didn't deserve this ending, let the culprits pay." Meanwhile, the police continue to search for Damián Valdez-Galloso, alias "El Narra," as a "person of interest" in the case.

The tragic death of El Taiger, who was declared dead this Thursday at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, has generated a wave of reactions.

The pain of his departure is palpable, not only among his close friends and colleagues but also among the hundreds of thousands of followers who grew up listening to his hits.

Throughout his career, El Taiger established himself as one of the most influential figures in Cuban reggaeton, collaborating with major names in urban music and creating anthems that defined a generation. His authenticity, talent, and ability to connect with the audience made him an icon of Cuban urban music. Now, his legacy will live on through his songs, but his absence leaves a void that many still cannot comprehend.
