Those detained by the Gaula in the La Central de Soledad, Las Malvinas and El Bosque neighborhoods of Barranquilla respond to the names of Ray José Gómez Cantillo, Yeison Cañas Florez and Elder Joel Daza Pérez, known as 'Galleta', 'Bebo' and ' Ray'. During the investigation, it was possible to obtain a statement from the father of one of those captured, who expressed his concern for the lives of the three young people.
"They are workers, they are motorcycle taxi drivers, and the one they say read the pamphlet works in construction with cans. The truth is that, wanting to earn a few pesos in the current situation, they started making a video, and look at the consequences of what what is happening," said the father, who requested that his name be withheld.
In addition, the father of one of those involved emphasized that the captured youths have no relationship with the massacre and questioned their ability to carry out said act. "Those guys have nothing to do with the massacre.
They are only seen in the video, but they are not capable of doing that, they do not have the capacity to get there. They just offered them money to make that video and now they are paying the consequences. They are blaming them, but they are attributing a lot of things to them," he added.
The father continued to defend his son and his companions, emphasizing that the individual named for reading the pamphlet has never had a criminal record. "I'm worried about my son and his teammates.
We only ask that false news not be built. If they say it's them in the video, let them present evidence and have the police prove what really happened, not the lies they are spreading.
In the video you can see that they are inexperienced people, they did not even know how to make the video, they did everything improvised," said the relative.
In addition, he called on the mayor to focus on finding the real culprits and not unfairly blame these young people. "Information reaches us that they are going to be taken to another place and it should not be like that. We fear for their lives, we fear that they are going to kill them," he concluded.
