Teresa Padrón, manager of El Taiger, attended court in Miami-Dade this Thursday, where Damián Valdez-Galloso appeared for the first time. He has been identified by the police as the person responsible for the murder of the Cuban reggaeton artist.
In statements to Telemundo 51, Teresa shared her impressions of seeing Damián Valdez up close, who reportedly had a friendship with the singer.
"That man stands there with a look on his face as if he hasn't done anything; I see no signs of remorse," Teresa said, clearly outraged.
The artist's manager emphasized that "he must have had some kind of help," and pointed out that in her opinion, it is impossible for a man of his size, who is not very tall, to carry someone who weighs 280 pounds and is over six feet tall by himself.
In one of her Instagram stories, Teresa added: "You and your wife (who will have to come to light very soon) are going to pay for the murder of José Manuel Carbajal."
So far, the police report indicates that Damián Valdez-Galloso shot El Taiger in the head at the entrance of his home, and then he dragged him to the car, where he later abandoned him in the vicinity of Jackson Memorial Hospital.
During the court hearing, Judge Mindy Glazer questioned the charge of second-degree murder, asking the prosecution why they were not pursuing a charge of first-degree murder given the account of events.
Damian also faces two additional charges: attempted tampering with physical evidence and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, for which the judge denied him bail.
The details surrounding the murder of El Taiger have sparked outrage and shock among fans and colleagues of the reggaeton artist.
