At that moment, according to the woman, her girlfriend fell to the ground and told her “they shot me.”

The only ones who were shooting at the crowd, according to Contreras in the newspaper, were uniformed police officers and some men in civilian clothes who “accompanied them behind the trees.” so the only thing he could do was bend down to help his partner since there were no places to take refuge at that time.

“Suddenly a man who had a motorcycle offered to take us. I got on with her, loaded, on that motorcycle and that’s how we got to the Suba hospital “, said the woman in the middle, adding that after this her partner was transferred to the Engativá hospital, where the doctors informed her that he could not survive as the bullet had “pierced his organs and they were destroyed.”

The threats against Cindy Contreras

The young woman said in the newspaper that after learning of Vaquero’s death, the victim’s family (outside the hospital) rushed her and, With insults and attacks, they threatened her in front of her mother and her son, warning her not to go near the wake of the deceased.

“Listen to me well, if you or you show up at the wake or in the cemetery I kill you. And with pleasure, “I pay for them” (by going to jail), ”Vaquero’s mother said at the hospital, according to Contreras, because she disagreed with her daughter’s sexual orientation.

After Vaquero’s death, according to Contreras, he began to receive calls from the victim’s family in which they asked him with insults and “thick words” for his partner’s belongings; further, They conditioned her going to the wake with demands that she had to erase all the probative material that linked her romantically with the woman from social networks.
