Authorities are examining a series of videos in which criminals are dressed in tactical Police uniforms , who at dawn last Tuesday, July 5, murdered Edgar Rafael Rodríguez Colón, A.K.A. “Avatar”, after entering his home under the pretext of that it was a police raid.
Rodríguez Colón had been living for a few months in a house behind a chapel in the Los Robles sector, in the Camarones neighborhood, and had security cameras. The murderers took the hard drive, but the police managed to recover several seconds of recording in which several of the murderers are seen.
Another recording was taken at the Mennonite Hospital in Coamo, where one of the uniformed assassins is seen carrying another member of his gang who was injured.
A Kia suv that appears in the recordings was occupied last weekend in a pasture in the town of Juncos.
The wounded man identified as Carlos A. Rodríguez Escobar, is in critical condition. The 42-year-old man is a resident of Humacao.
Authorities suspect that “Avatar’s” killers are linked to a drug gang that operates in Juncos, where a massacre occurred in May. The apparent owners of some of the drug spots in this town are residents of Cidra.
The individuals dressed as heavily armed officers entered the house and handcuffed Avatar, 29, and his wife.
The deceased, who had an address in Santa Isabel, had been living in the house for two weeks, after an electronic shackle was placed on him for a case of illegal possession of guns that was filed on March 24.
Rodríguez Colón was taken to the patio and executed.
According to the progress of the investigation, before he was killed, Rodríguez Colón yelled at his wife that the gunmen were not police officers.
“Avatar” was linked to an organization that operates drug spots in the Maximino Miranda public housing complex and was listed as one of several suspects in the death of the young Nashaly Cristina Torres Vargas, which occurred on October 6, 2020.
