An extended report aired by the Univision network this Thursday revealed more details surrounding the circumstances of El Taiger's death.
An interesting detail is that, as journalist Javier Díaz reported while citing police documents, in her initial statements to the authorities, Teresa Padrón mentioned that on September 30, she accompanied El Taiger to a jewelry store, where she noticed that the singer was carrying a firearm.
Teresa explained that she asked him to give her the weapon, removed the magazine, and put it away in her house.
Later, the investigators found the weapon in that residence, and ballistic analysis confirmed that it had not been used.
The police also mention the address 238 West and 8th Avenue in Hialeah, which corresponds to the Paraíso Motel, a location linked to the investigation where authorities found two plastic bags containing alleged fentanyl.
Univision also shared images showing that Damian got out of an SUV at his home at 7:17 a.m. on October 3, after abandoning El Taiger's body in the vicinity of Jackson Memorial Hospital.
After arriving at his home, he continued to clean the crime scene.
Another previously unknown fact is that the forensic report confirmed that El Taiger was declared brain dead on October 10 at 11:07 a.m., and at 3:00 p.m. that same day, he suffered cardiac death.
The series of images and data obtained by Univision for better interpretation of the events belong to the State Prosecutor's Office.
The images in question have revealed new evidence concerning not only the day El Taiger was shot but also how the investigation has unfolded since then.
One piece of evidence is the photos taken when Damian Valdez-Galloso was arrested in New York City.
The suspect was interviewed in a room at the New York police station, where his chest, back, and arm tattoos were photographed.
Another piece of evidence made public now is a photo showing the Mercedes Benz that was used to transport El Taiger's body from Hialeah to the vicinity of Jackson Memorial during the early hours of the fateful October 3.
The photos of the entrance to Damian's house, where he shot El Taiger in the head, are particularly striking.
Several images showed the broken front door after the police raided the house and searched for the suspect, shortly after the injured body of El Taiger was found inside the vehicle.
The next court hearing for Damian Valdez-Galloso in connection with the murder of El Taiger is scheduled for December 19.
On that day, as reported recently by Teresa Padrón, the prosecution is expected to officially raise the charge from second-degree murder to first-degree murder.
