Damián Valdez-Galloso, who had declared himself innocent for the death of El Taigerhe was formally accused this Wednesday of “first degree murder”, after the Prosecutor’s Office presented the update of the charges against him.
According to a report of Telemundo51, The hearing of the case, now assigned to Judge Milton Hirsch in the Miami-Dade Court of Justice, is scheduled for 9:00 in the morning of this January 30, which is expected that the Prosecutor’s Office show “the first evidence “And the defense team” expose your legal strategy. “
The defense of Valdez-Galloso, adds the medium, will be in charge of lawyer Kellie Peterson Marcellus, responsible for “arguing in favor of the accused while the judicial process advances.”
The first degree murder position is a “serious crime that entails the possibility of life imprisonment or death penalty in the state of Florida,” he says Telemundo51.
The fact that prosecution could lean for that position was discussed last November, a step that so far had not decided to give because it would be necessary to prove “that the fact was carried out with premeditation”, something that was not clear yet.
In addition, Gallose is accused of “attempt to manipulate physical evidence and possession of a firearm as a convict,” the chain verified.
In a video broadcast a few months ago you can see how the Taiger, who was in front of the door of the house in Hialeah, falls to the ground, allegedly after receiving a shot from inside the house.
In mid-November, the Chief of the Miami-Dade Police, Manuel A. Morales, clarified that “there is no possibility that he says it was in self -defense”, because “in Florida you have the right to defend your home, but the evidence does not indicate that this was what happened.”

The authorities reaffirmed that it is “a murder, a crime that cannot be denied.” In that line, Morales assumed that the detectives already had the case.
Valdez-Galloso on November 7 had his first appearance in a court, where Judge Mindy Glazer ordered that he continue to be held without the right to bail and also assigned an ex officio lawyer.
Last October 3, The Taiger was found in Miami inside a vehicle. He had been shot in the head. Since then he remained in the Jackson Memorial Hospital of that city, where he remained in critical condition, with artificial breathing, until his death.
