A Cuban citizen residing in Miami was found dead in Mexico under circumstances that have yet to be clarified. The news has caused distress among his family members, especially his mother, who is demanding justice and the swift return of her son's body.
The incident dates back to February 7, when in the Bellavista neighborhood of Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, the lifeless body of a man was found inside a black Alfa Romeo vehicle with Florida license plates, reported the local outlet Canal 44.
The victim, identified as Diredmy Herrera Agüero, a 36-year-old Cuban citizen, showed signs of violence, including gunshot wounds and was tied up.
The discovery occurred at the intersection of Begonias and Pípila streets, next to the Acequia Madre, after neighbors alerted the authorities upon noticing that the car was on fire.
In the scene, a spent shell casing was found, although the caliber has not yet been determined.
The mother of Diredmy, Kiri, a resident of Curaçao, has made a distressing appeal on social media following the tragic death of her son in Ciudad Juárez.
In her message, she denounced that the media have reported the case as if her son had no family, demanding answers and justice.
“My son is not an orphan, my son has a mother”, she stated in a video where the profound pain of loss is felt, while also demanding answers and justice for the crime.
According to his testimony, he has unsuccessfully tried to contact various authorities in the United States for the repatriation of his son's body, fearing that his son's remains will be sent to a mass grave due to the lack of action.
In the video, he clarified: "I am not in Cuba", reaffirming his commitment to managing the case.
The journalist from Univisión 23, Mario Vallejo, has joined the mother's request and has called on his followers in Mexico to assist in the handling of the body.
"This Cuban mother has been living in Curacao for years. Through the Mexican press, she learns that her son was murdered in Mexico. She has done everything possible to recover his body, but they keep tossing her from one place to another. I need help from Mexico to try to ensure that the mother can retrieve the body," Vallejo stated on social media.
According to the outlet X Juárez, the case of Diredmy Agüero is surrounded by questions.
One of the most striking points is that the vehicle involved in the incident had Miami license plates, which has raised questions about whether the young man resided in Ciudad Juárez or had recently arrived from the United States.
Additionally, the victim's immigration status and the legal situation of the vehicle have not yet been clarified, factors that complicate the investigation.
At the moment, the Consulate of Cuba in Mexico has not reported whether it is in contact with local authorities to provide consular assistance in the process.
