Puerto Rico Police Bureau (PRPB) personnel have solved the slaying of a four-month-old baby that occurred on May 21 in Cayey, after the release of two members of the criminal organization “Los Viraos.” The accused, David González Olmos, alias “Caguitas,” 29, and Eliezer Rivera Otero, alias “Tiki,” 23, face charges for the death of the infant.
“This is a case of a vicious death, which demonstrates the disregard for life that these individuals have,” said Police Commissioner Antonio López Figueroa, who stressed the importance of removing the criminals from the streets for the tranquility of the affected communities. “Both defendants are suspects in multiple murders and violent crimes.”
The crime occurred when the defendants, according to the investigation, fired indiscriminately at a vehicle on highway PR-14 in Cayey, wounding the occupants and causing the death of infant Annelie Zoe Bonilla Burgos. The target of the attack was Víctor Manuel Torres Martínez, 27, who was wounded and had survived a previous attack at the W Disco, also in Cayey.
González Olmos, who has been identified as one of the leaders of “Los Viraos,” was arrested in Aguada, while Rivera Otero had been previously detained in Caguas. Both are linked to drug trafficking in Cayey and surrounding areas, and are being held at the Bayamon Correctional Complex.
“The filing of charges is a hard blow to a criminal organization that has spread terror throughout an entire area of the island,” said Col. Carlos Cruz, the PRPB’s head of special operations.
