Triple murder suspect in Caguas Park refused council help

The Mayor of Caguas, William Miranda Torres, revealed this morning that staff from his council and a private clinic came into contact a few weeks ago with the homeless man suspected of murdering three young people on the grounds of the old Moisty Skate last night. Park. .

According to Miranda Torres, the suspect was first seen spending the night in the abandoned building in December. The land, located next to the PR-52 at the exit to José Garrido Avenue, has been vacant since the park’s closure in 2013.

The mayor has publicly expressed his condolences to the families of the three murdered youths.

“A protocol has been activated and the Human Development Secretary has been integrated. A working group was activated, from the municipality and from the company Sanos ”, says Miranda Torres. “When he saw this person, the man went up the mountain and fled. It seems he didn’t want the help “He insisted that the description he received of the subject was that he was a calm person.

“Someone spoke to him and offered help,” he said.

The land, approximately 110 acres, is owned by the council and was acquired with federal funds restricting its use to a park or recreation area. According to the mayor, this restriction has prevented the city council from leaving the building. Miranda Torres described it as ‘headache’.

The mayor said several investors have approached him to make proposals, but none have been successful.

‘I’ve already lost count. Hundreds of people have come. They even proposed a hotel, on another occasion a cinema, on another occasion to create a ‘container park’. They also proposed a stage to practice gotcha and others wanted to bring something more or less like what they had. Everyone has come up with good ideas, but nobody comes with the children “the mayor explained, pointing out that since 2015 he has been unsuccessfully trying to get the federal government to free the country from usage restrictions.

“I am not a broker or broker. My intention is to take advantage of it and get out as soon as possible. What it costs me to maintain and what it stands for is a headache, ”he added.

Miranda Torres indicated that there is a “periodic” but not continuous surveillance of the land and that a cleanup has recently taken place identifying the person currently under investigation for the triple crime. He argued that he should distribute his security resources across the city and not leave a permanent person on the property.
