The National District Prosecutor’s Office established in the accusatory file that Peña Pichardo was associated with Ángelo Miguel Morrillo (Chan) and Juan Alberto Tejada (Danny), damned by the same court to a sentence of 20 years in 2017, and to Julio César Abreu (Bobote), who was sentenced by the Third Collegiate Court to 30 years in 2019.
When the group of robbers approached, the private was changing a tire with a cousin and a friend. Tejada realized that the soldier had a weapon and shot him, for which he died later when he was receiving care at a hospital.
Tejada was also injured and the other robbers fled. Peña Pichardo was arrested in August 2020, after being a fugitive from justice for more than five years. His behavior was described by the Public Ministry as an association of malefactors, homicide and attempted robbery.
