Yoslayny de la Rosa Rodríguez, one of the individuals involved in the violent crime that claimed the lives of two young people in Cienfuegos on June 29, was arrested in recent hours.
The attack, which took place near a bar in the early morning and resulted in the deaths of Lester Leal and Luardys Agulle Jiménez, also left a pregnant woman and a minor injured.
The information was published this Wednesday by the official profile Las Cosas de Fernanda on Facebook, which cited citizen sources and data that were later verified regarding the progress in the police investigation.
According to that report, joint forces from the Ministry of the Interior managed to identify those responsible for the crime and apprehend one of them.
The detained individual is Yoslayny de la Rosa Rodríguez, owner of a Jagua motorcycle. Witnesses indicate that after the assault, he assisted the perpetrators in fleeing the crime scene.
Although he did not inflict the fatal injuries, his role in the escape positions him as a direct accomplice in the events.
Authorities continue the search for Enmanuel Alberto Rodríguez García, alias El Chivero, the alleged perpetrator of the double homicide, described in the report as an individual with a criminal record and antisocial behavior.
He lives in the vicinity of the Paraíso area in Cienfuegos, where the operations are concentrated.
In addition to the arrest of the accomplice, the report indicates that other arrests have been made against individuals who allegedly knew about the events and did not report them. Current legislation states that those who conceal the perpetrators of serious crimes can be prosecuted as accomplices.
The initial reports indicated that the attackers acted under the influence of alcohol and that the conflict began due to provocations inside the bar "El 24," in the city of Cienfuegos, where the victims were with family, including a pregnant woman and a minor. The situation escalated quickly and ended in tragedy.
One of the youths, Lester Leal, was transported alive to a hospital, where he died shortly after. The body of Luardys Agulle Jiménez was found without vital signs just a few meters from the location.
Relatives reported delays in police assistance and the transfer of the deceased, claiming they were informed that "there was no fuel" to carry out the removal of the body.
The case sparked a wave of outrage on social media, where friends, neighbors, and family members have demanded justice. Testimonials posted on platforms like Facebook, including profiles such as Díaz-Canel Singao, recounted the events in stark detail and called for a strong response from the State.
The pain of the families became even more apparent with the release of images from Luardys' funeral, accompanied by messages such as "we are all broken" and calls to ensure that the crime does not go unpunished.
In addition to the emotional impact, the incident has raised concerns among citizens about the increasing climate of violence in the streets. Several users have called for stricter measures against murderers and a tougher criminal justice system.
"The laws are very lax; they need to be tightened," wrote an internet user, even calling for the reintroduction of the death penalty for crimes of this nature.
Although one of the suspects has already been captured, the case remains open, with operations underway to apprehend the material authors and other possible accomplices in the double homicide that shocked Cienfuegos.
