A 14-minute video has been released in recent hours by America Tevé on its YouTube channel, showing the events that unfolded from the moment El Taiger stood in front of Damian's door until the alleged murderer dragged the reggaeton artist's body to the car.
The images released—although not of very high quality—capture what happened between 4:26 a.m. and 4:40 a.m. on Thursday, October 3rd.
While it is well known that the maneuvers at the crime scene took place until shortly after 5:00 a.m., having access to those first nearly 15 uninterrupted minutes allows us to perceive chronologically how the sequence of events and timings unfolded during those dramatic moments, as well as the demeanor and coolness of the alleged murderer.
El Taiger arrived and started knocking on Valdez-Galloso’s door at 4:26 a.m.
After standing for five minutes in front of the iron gate of the house, during which he appeared restless at times, at 4:31 a gunshot fired from inside the house caused the reggaeton artist to fall to the ground immediately.
However, it wasn't until 4:37, six minutes after the shot was fired, that Damian appeared at the scene, moving with complete calmness to begin dragging the body.
The images confirm that after the shot was fired, there were no immediate signs of concern for the injured person; they did not go out to see if he was alive, and, of course, no remorse is evident either.
After being shot, El Taiger's body was simply left to its fate for a lengthy six minutes until Damian—who had exited the house through a back door—arrived to begin the transfer of the body.
The images, as the police have stated on several occasions, confirm that the phase of moving the singer's lifeless body was carried out solely by Damian, who at times interrupted the act to adjust the victim's clothing, which was left partially undressed during the process.
The video shared by America Tevé cuts off at 4:40 a.m., at which point the reggaeton artist's body leaves the camera's field of view.
It is not clear how the body was lifted into the car.
What happened next?
In other segments that were shown on Thursday, Damian returned to the scene to clean up the bloodstains at the entrance of the house.
In another part of the images, which have sparked much discussion, a woman was seen entering the surveillance camera's field of view at 4:43 a.m. She was observed coming and going for several minutes, apparently heading towards the vehicle in which the singer's body was ultimately transported.
Between that moment and shortly after 5 AM on October 3rd, the alleged killer carried out several maneuvers in which it has now become clear that a woman was present, an acknowledgment already made by the police.
This Thursday, Damián Valdez-Galloso pleaded "not guilty" to the homicide of the reggaeton artist, provoking widespread outrage among the singer's friends and followers.
However, Teresa Padrón, manager and close friend of the late artist, expressed her feelings upon leaving the court, saying she was "happy" because Damian's attitude reinforces the effort and desire for justice to be served.
