Last Wednesday, designer Luis Braccal died, 10 days after receiving a beating allegedly by security personnel at the Paseo Las Mercedes Shopping Center, Baruta (Miranda). Apparently the cause of death was internal bleeding.
Braccal’s death was commented on social networks by people linked to the world of entertainment, especially Miss Venezuela, a contest for which she worked.
The day after receiving the beating, Braccal published a brief account of the incident on Instagram, accompanied by a photo showing his left eye being black.
In the publication, the designer said that he went to a store to change a Christmas train and this generated a brawl with the security of the aforementioned shopping center. Relatives claim online that the autopsy revealed internal bleeding that occurred after the beating.
“Yesterday the ‘security’ at CC Paseo Las Mercedes beat me!! NO ONE CALLED THE POLICE! @polibarutaoficial are still espb @tijerazovzla changing a “Christmas train” that was no good!!
