The driver Ramón Gresequi, affectionately known as "Ramoncito" in his community, was found dead this Friday in Moa, Holguín, one day after disappearing along with the truck he was driving for the Nickel Mechanical Company (EMNI).

Amalia Cruz Liranza was one of the first to confirm the news in the Facebook group "The Most Exclusive in Moa," citing her sister-in-law, a colleague of the deceased, as a source. The page Nio reporting a crime also reported the case. 

According to information gathered from publications by individuals who knew Gresequi and in Facebook groups from Moa, the body was found in the locality of Yaguaneque, on the hill of Miraflores, where the television tower of the municipality is located.

The way it was found—hidden in a hole and wrapped in nylon—suggests, according to neighbors on social media, a premeditated crime motivated by the theft of the white Toyota truck with license plate BP 211 606 that Gresequi was driving at the time of his disappearance.

Yakima Lamoru, a neighbor who had been reporting the disappearance from the beginning, confirmed the death with a mourning message on Facebook: "It is not fair that someone's life is taken away like this over something that does not belong to them, someone who owed nothing and bothered no one."

Disbelief spread quickly among community groups on social media, where dozens of neighbors expressed their grief and outrage.

"They took away a great friend from us, a man of unwavering character, what a pain," wrote one of them.

Another comment encapsulated the general sentiment: "It is a murder, it is an injustice, I have no words... The only thing I ask of God the Father is that for once in history true justice is served. They have taken everything from that family: a father from his children, a good, hardworking man, a husband, an educated man, a neighbor."

Gresequi had left on Wednesday around 11:00 AM from his workplace without his backup medication, intending to return quickly, according to his relatives.

As of the time of this publication, there was no official confirmation regarding the discovery of the body or information about possible arrests, while the community of Moa is demanding that "true justice be served at last."

The case adds to a pattern of criminal violence linked to vehicle theft that has claimed several lives in Cuba during 2026: in May, Dairon Urbay Solan was found strangled in Villa Clara after his electric tricycle was stolen, and in August, Carlos Luis Suárez Navarro was killed in Cienfuegos during a robbery for his moped.

Cuba lacks an official alert system for missing persons, forcing families to turn to Facebook groups and independent platforms like NiO Reporting a Crime to organize searches, as was the case from the very beginning in this instance.
