The police are investigating the details of what happened at the residence located on Maceo Street, between Benavides and Chicho Torres.
There are even rumors that the deadly wound to the skull could be from a gunshot, according to the aforementioned source.
Rodríguez Sánchez described the victim as "a healthy kid, a fun guy who was always smiling, a devoted father of two children, passionate about his craft with wood and a lover of fishing in the waters of Júcaro."
"Visiting his home was a delightful experience, deeply cherished by the neighbors of the neighborhood [...] A part of his soul resides in all the exquisitely carved wood that adorns so many homes in Avilés," he concluded.
As of the closing of this report, official sources have not commented on the case.

"Cuba is no longer a safe country."
Thousands of people have expressed their anger at the growing violence and the impunity that seems to surround these crimes.
“My city of Avilés loses a talented son, dearly beloved by those who had the privilege of knowing him... Only cowards and the incapable can plan such a horrific act”, lamented an internet user who knew the victim.
"The damned regime has turned us into cannibals... We eat each other to satisfy our vices and needs," "It is not a priority for the police of the Castro tyranny to catch the violent, only to pursue those who express themselves against the dictatorship," were other comments.
Adrián's case rekindles the public outcry for justice and harsher penalties for murderers.
"Maximum penalty," "death penalty," and "iron fist" are phrases that are repeated over and over in hundreds of comments; alongside the need for a "Bukele in Cuba" to put an end to extreme violence on the island.
"Until the death penalty is imposed, the murders will continue," "Those who commit these crimes should pay with the same coin. Enough is enough!" "The full weight of the law must fall upon those murderers. They cannot walk away unpunished!" were other opinions.
Beyond the cry for justice, the murder of carpenter Adrián reflects a deeper wound: that of a Cuban society mortally wounded by the crisis.
