That Friday , Carlos Eduardo , of 20 years of age, along with other persons, entered Makeev’s house, in the “cuartería” of the Supermanzana 70, to rebuke him.

He and the crowd had been frenzied from social media to be part of that popular chapter broadcasted in real-time. Upon the break-in of his space and the mass aggression , the foreigner of 42 years old , stabbed the young man with a knife several times, causing him mortal injuries .
