The violent altercation that took place in the early hours of August 16 at the “Somos Jóvenes” Recreational Complex in Santa Clara continues to cause shock and reveal new information.
Although the official information initially reported one deceased worker and two injured, new accounts indicate inconsistencies in the number and condition of the injured.
Official sources, along with family and friends, have identified the deceased as Derlis Machado Terrero, a young security worker at the center. According to information shared by the profile associated with the Ministry of the Interior Fuerza Pueblo, Derlis did not die at the scene, but rather at the Arnaldo Milián Castro Hospital, known as Nuevo, where he was taken after sustaining a stab wound to the face and a severe blow to the liver that proved fatal.
Meanwhile, while official reports mentioned two injured individuals, Michel Medina Gómez and Yulier Alba Zamora, Fuerza Pueblo states that there were three injured:
- Michel has a skull fracture, bruises, and a stab wound in his thigh.
- Yulier has been admitted to the Neurosurgery unit and is showing a favorable progress.
- Oscar, who may have suffered minor injuries.
The authors of the crime have been identified as the twins Carlos and Roberto Rodríguez Marrero, young men with several criminal records for violent acts.
According to reports, one was captured in the province of Cienfuegos after hiding in a friend's house, who was also arrested for concealment, while the other surrendered to the authorities.
This level of detail had not been reflected in the initial reports, which only confirmed the arrest without specifying the circumstances.
Pain in the family and farewells
The death of Derlis sparked a wave of messages of grief on social media. His brother-in-law, Rafael Álvarez Arias, remembered him by calling out those responsible.
While her sister, Deliyannis Machado, dedicated moving words of farewell:
"I never imagined it would be our goodbye. The moment your heart stopped beating, mine raced. The pain I feel remains intact; I carry it within my soul, stored in a crystal box, and it shatters every time I remember. Days, months, and years will pass, and your absence will continue to hurt like it did on the first day."
The differences between the official versions and those circulating among family and acquaintances create doubts in the public, which demands clarity about what happened. What is confirmed is that the tragedy left a Cuban family shattered and an entire community marked by the violence that took the life of a young worker.
