New details about the carpenter's murder in Ciego de Ávila

The community of Ciego de Ávila is still reeling from the impact of the murder of Adrián, a beloved carpenter from Maceo Street, an act that has sparked profound grief and a growing call for justice on social media.

The news spread quickly due to the high regard in which neighbors and acquaintances held him.

In the absence of official information—something common in state media when events that shock the population occur—contradictory versions have circulated on the internet.

In the midst of sorrow, independent journalist Guillermo Rodríguez Sánchez published a heartfelt note on Facebook in which he recounts that he spoke with Adrián's family members, who confirmed to him that he was home alone at the time of the crime.

Neither his mother nor his two children were in another room. His mom lives on the upper floor of the duplex, which has no access to her son's home, and the children were at their maternal grandmothers' houses.

Rodríguez Sánchez clarified that the victim's mobile phone was not stolen, but is in the possession of the family.

The only item stolen was a solid gold chain, whose real value exceeds 5,000 dollars, "specially made as a savings option in case one day I needed to sell it to invest." In addition, they took clothing and shoes.

It was also noted that there are no confessed detainees, only suspects under investigation and no official confession has been confirmed.

"It is true that he was shot and that was the cause of death; however, his agony was prolonged. Whoever they were, they tormented him before taking his life..." the post details.

The family requested privacy and respect during this time of mourning, a request that the journalist publicly supported.

The networks have been flooded with messages of condolence, outrage, and demands for justice.

Many neighbors have remembered Adrián for the furniture he built, the acts of kindness he showed them, and the spontaneous trips he organized with his apprentices, spending his earnings on sharing.

Adrián was not only known for his skill as a carpenter but also for his generosity and warmth towards everyone.

According to Rodríguez Sánchez, he played football barefoot in the street, shared what little he had, and treated his apprentices like family. This spirit of solidarity has been highlighted by those who mourn his death today.

"Excellent boy, he made my daughter's turned white crib, how sad," a mother recalled on Facebook.

"In the dining room set of my house are the memories of Adrián, may God keep you in His Holy Glory," said another.

The murder has sparked a heated debate about the growing violence in Cuba, a country where the perception of insecurity has increased in recent times.

Comments on social media reflect frustration with impunity, the decline of the judicial system, and the feeling that criminals face insufficient penalties.

"How long will this uncontrolled vandalism continue in our country? This has gone too far. Thugs are free on the streets, and hardworking people are dying at the hands of these murderers and thieves who kill for no reason," expressed a netizen.

"Other children without their father, another mother suffering the murder of her son, how long will this go on? Now they catch them, give them two or three years, and then back on the streets again, causing more relatives to mourn. What is happening is painful," lamented a woman from Santiago.

The crisis of violence in Cuba

This murder is just one more in a series of violent incidents that have been recorded in recent months, sparking an increasing fear among the population.

For many, it symbolizes a deeper crisis affecting the country, fueled by economic despair and the lack of an effective justice system.

Comments on social media reflect a widespread sentiment of frustration, with many blaming the government for failing to ensure the safety of citizens while focusing on persecuting political opponents.

While authorities continue to investigate the case and search for the third person involved, Adrián's family is grappling with their painful loss, and the community is calling for justice and a future where violence is not the answer to desperation.
