Ram\u00f3n Tolentino is moved while reporting the death of a young man attacked after a failed purchase<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Communicator Ram\u00f3n Tolentino starred in an emotional moment during his participation in Esto No es Radio Show, when reporting on the passing of Manuel Contreras Medina. The young man lost his life after remaining hospitalized for several weeks, the result of a brutal beating received with bats, an incident that occurred while attempting to complete the purchase of a cell phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tolentino, who closely followed the case since the family requested his help, expressed his deep indignation at the outcome. The journalist had actively collaborated in managing medical supplies, such as platelets, necessary for the victim’s treatment during their hospital stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The details of an avoidable tragedy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to the information presented in the radio segment, the conflict originated from an offer on Facebook Marketplace for an iPhone 15 Pro Max. Manuel Contreras Medina, who worked for a company, went to the Los Praditos sector wearing his uniform and using a company vehicle to carry out the transaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What should have been a commercial exchange ended in a dispute over payment. According to the account, after trying to protect the device, the young man was intercepted by several individuals who attacked him savagely. “All the bat blows were to the head,” lamented Tolentino, detailing the magnitude of the injuries the victim suffered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No one in this country can put up with this. One does this, but this makes the soul sick.<\/p>\nRam\u00f3n Tolentino<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Questioning justice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

During his speech, Tolentino harshly criticized the slowness of the competent authorities’ actions. The communicator pointed out that, despite recurring complaints from family members and the time elapsed since July 1st, it was not possible to prevent one of the alleged perpetrators from managing to leave the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • The journalist reported that one of the attackers admitted his involvement in the incident after making contact with him.<\/li>\n
  • The version that the young man was committing a robbery was questioned, labeling it as an attempt to divert attention from the reality.<\/li>\n
  • Tolentino emphasized that his work is not limited to media exposure, but rather a human commitment to the affected families.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The communicator concluded his message by reaffirming his commitment to Dominican society, ensuring that he will continue to use his platform to give a voice to those facing situations of injustice, despite the risks and criticisms he may receive for his work style.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
