Teresa Padrón, manager and friend of El Taiger, shared a poignant story on Instagram a few hours ago dedicated to the singer, accompanied by a message filled with pain and affection.
In the ephemeral content section, Teresa posted an unreleased video of El Taiger where he is seen alone in a room, lying on his bed and filming himself silently while sighing. "This is ugly," he says, "trying" in the brief moment, before turning the camera towards the window of his room.
Regarding the video, Teresa wrote a message that brings to life the reggaeton artist's struggle against his own demons and expresses sorrow over the circumstances surrounding his death, as well as the situations being experienced in the wake of his loss.
"No one knows or knew your pain, no one knows how hard I fought to help you. Thank you for being strong, even if it was just for a moment... thank you for trying," Teresa said, recalling El Taiger's strength in the face of his struggles.
At the same time, he added: "It makes me very sad to see how everyone is now arguing publicly about what you created."
She concluded her words with a message of hope that justice will be served for the tragic loss of the beloved artist: "I have faith in God that justice will prevail and that everything else will be resolved.”
The murder of El Taiger, whose real name was José Manuel Carbajal Zaldívar, has shocked not only his inner circle but also the community of fans of Cuban urban music. On October 3, he was found in Miami with a gunshot wound to the head and, after several days in a coma at Jackson Memorial Hospital, he passed away on October 10.
Since then, Teresa has shared several posts highlighting the deep bond they shared and demanding justice for the crime.
This week, the police arrested Damián Valdez-Galloso in New York. A day later, it was confirmed in a press conference that he was the one who fired the shot and that he would be transferred to Miami-Dade County for trial.
In the midst of mourning and sorrow over the tragic death of El Taiger, his cousin, Jorge Junior, announced that he would request DNA tests for three of El Taiger's four children before proceeding with the inheritance. This decision has sparked controversy on social media and has opened a debate about the future of the artist's estate
Teresa, for her part, has continued to remember El Taiger on social media, even bringing to mind words he once dedicated to her while he was alive, describing her as an "unconditional" person who stood by him during difficult times. These posts and the recent Instagram story have shown their followers the affection and gratitude they shared, now marked by an irreparable pain and a hope for justice.
