The tragic discovery took place at the intersection of 12 Sur and 5 Oeste.
The crime caused a profound shock in the city and ignited an avalanche of reactions on social media, where residents and users have demanded immediate justice and condemned the incident harshly.
The arrest of Velázquez Acosta, identified by authorities as the alleged perpetrator of the homicide, was confirmed by the official Facebook page "Guantánamo y su Verdad."
The arrest came after the initial investigations, which pointed to personal motives as the reason for the crime.
According to information disseminated by the aforementioned source, the incident is said to be connected to "personal disagreements between the two, stemming from economic conflicts and situations of blackmail that culminated in an act of revenge."
A relationship that ended in tragedy
The authorities are reconstructing the events based on a prior relationship of trust between the victim and the accused, "subsequently deteriorated by disputes of a material and emotional nature."
Although specific details about how the crime occurred have not been revealed, it was indicated that Velázquez Acosta will face criminal proceedings for the offense of murder.
"The case continues its legal course with full respect for the procedural guarantees established by the law," assured the official publication, which also warned about the proliferation of unconfirmed versions on social media and urged acting with caution due to the sensitivity of the case.
Pain, outrage, and demands for justice
In numerous comments generated by the news on Facebook, the sentiment was unanimous: absolute condemnation of the crime and calls for a firm response from the judicial system.
Many demanded a harsh penalty, and there were calls for extreme punishments such as life imprisonment or the death penalty.
"Incidents of this kind cannot go unpunished. Let the full weight of the law come down on him," wrote a user.
Another commented: “That’s what laws and justice are for, but no one has the right to take another person's life.”
The call for justice was repeated over and over: "Justice, justice, justice. They must pay for what they did."
Controversy over the image of the alleged killer
One of the most recurrent discussions in the comments was the decision to share the accused's image with a pixelated face. Most internet users criticized this practice and demanded that his face be shown.
"Why cover the face of a murderer that society rejects?" a user asked. "Don't hide his face so everyone can recognize him. The world needs to see the killer," others insisted.
A victim remembered with respect
Numerous messages highlighted the human qualities of Eraine Zayas and the void left by her death.
"He didn't deserve to die like that. He was an excellent person, a friend to everyone," lamented an internet user.
Another message, filled with pain, recalled: “After all that man did for you, look how you repaid him. By stealing from him and then murdering him.”
Indignation was also mixed with sadness and despair over the level of violence that seems to have taken root in everyday life. “More crimes and more tragedies every day. Where are we headed?” they questioned in several messages.
