Santa Cruz, unsafe city

Santa Cruz, unsafe city


The murder of a person at the door of his house in the Alto San Pedro de Santa Cruz area, at the hands of two people who followed him on a motorcycle, has once again reminded those of us who inhabit this beautiful city a truth that scares and hurts: we live in an unsafe city, where people are killed on the streets at any time of the day for a few bills and even a cell phone in front of the neighbors.

The thieves and murderers do not even care that passersby see them or that their images are captured by security cameras, they do not care and in any case they commit their criminal acts, they shoot, finish off, coldly shoot their victims and flee from the scene like someone who performs a more routine job.

This is what happened to Víctor Hugo Cuéllar González, a 51-year-old hard-working and entrepreneurial citizen, born in Villa Serrano (Chuquisaca), who returned home in his vehicle with money that he had collected from the sale of soybeans. Two men on a motorcycle followed him, waited for him to get out of the vehicle and attacked him with five shots.

Still wounded, the man ran several meters behind his robbers until he bled to death. He was transferred to the clinic, but his body did not resist and he died.

The Special Force to Fight Crime investigates the incident and wants to know the activities carried out by Víctor Cuéllar, who was also an auditor by profession, and determine where he would have collected or withdrawn the money, with whom he had previously contacted, and with those clues try to get to identify the two people who were on the motorcycle.

“I am Bolivian, I love this land, I would never want to leave it”, ‘Vicho’ Cuéllar sang, as his family and friends told him, in a family video that circulated on social networks after his death, to remember a good man who was dedicated to work and loved to sing in social and family gatherings.

His life was abruptly cut off at age 51 due to the reigning insecurity in a city that runs desperately behind development without observing that insecurity, crime, drug trafficking are advancing faster than its growth, which stain its streets with blood, while no one does. nothing to contain the wave of violence.

How much do the mayor and the governor do for the capital city, to stop deaths from common crime? Wednesday’s murder is proof that no one in this city is safe; any of its inhabitants can be a victim of criminals, that returning home is no longer a guaranteed experience.

More than doing politics, they are required to work for the largest city in the country, of which they are authorities; that they give back to the citizens the certainty lost several years ago that living on this land can and should be safe.

The city looks neglected, dirty, in many places it does not have lighting; the city center at night seems like a ghost town that you can hardly walk through without exposing yourself to a robbery on any corner.

Something must be done. That it is not necessary to see more working citizens like Víctor Hugo Cuéllar González lose their lives to ring the warning bells. Being a hard-working, generous and working city is not enough if it cannot guarantee life for those who inhabit it.
