Umfazi waseWest Kendall osebenza kwiarhente yokuhamba yaseSweetwater usentolongweni emva kokuba etyhole abathengi abalishumi elinesibini ubuncinane amawaka eedola kumatikiti endiza yomgunyathi eya eNicaragua, amapolisa athi.
URuth Morales, oneminyaka engama-49 ubudala, umnini we-Arhente yokuHamba yaseNicaraguita esuka kwi-Southwest 107th Avenue kunye neSitrato saseWest Flagler, uhlawuliswe ngamacala amahlanu obusela kunye nobuqhetseba.
“Asiyazi indlela aqiqa ngayo ngokwenza le nto,” utshilo umcuphi waseSweetwater uReny Garcia. “Uneminyaka eqhuba ishishini elisemthethweni kwisixeko sethu. Mhlawumbi imeko yakhe yayingahambi kakuhle okanye kwakufuneka aphume ngokukhawuleza kwelo lizwe. Ingqikelelo yakho iyafana neyam."
Ngeshishini lakhe livaliwe, amapolisa akholelwa ukuba iMorales yingozi yokubhabha. Ijaji yaseMiami-Dade ngentsasa yangoLwesibini yavuma ukunyusa ibheyile yakhe ukuya kwi-150,000 yeedola ukusuka kwi-25,000 yeedola. UMorales uhlala entolongweni.
UGressan Lopez, oneminyaka engama-22, waseLiberty City wonwabile uMorales usemva kwezitshixo, kodwa ufuna ukwazi ukuba uza kuyifumana na imali yakhe. Umfazi wakhe, owayethenge amathikithi e-Nicaraguita Travel Agency ngaphambili, wathenga amathikithi amabini okujikeleza ukuya eNicaragua ngeTaca Airlines ngo-Dec. 25 ukuya kwi-8 kaJanuwari.
Utsalele umnxeba kwinqwelomoya kwaye wafunda ukuba iinqwelomoya zibhukisiwe, kodwa kamva wafumanisa ukuba amatikiti arhoxisiwe kwaye uMorales wayeyifake epokothweni imali.
“Elo yayilicebo lakhe: Bhukisha iinqwelomoya, xelela abathengi ukuba bafowunele inqwelomoya ukuze baqinisekise kwaye barhoxise,” utshilo uLopez. “Unokuba ukhohlakele kangakanani ukwenza loo nto hayi kum kuphela kodwa nabanye abantu.
“Ndiboleke i-$490 ngokunyaniseka ukuze ndigoduke nonyana wam oneminyaka emi-4 ubudala ukuze ndibekho kubantakwethu, abaza kuchitha iKrisimesi yabo yokuqala bodwa emva kokusweleka kukamama. Akulunganga. Le yeyona Krisimesi imbi kwezakha zakho.”
Amapolisa abongoza amanye amaxhoba ukuba aze ngaphambili afake ingxelo.
“Akukacaci ukuba mangaphi amaxhoba akhoyo, kodwa kufuneka maninzi,” utshilo uGarcia.
