From the March 27th edition of DR1 News, with focus on the last paragraph:
One dead in student council election at UASD
Daniel Castillo died as a result of a gunshot wound he received when the tumultuous student elections at the state university UASD turned violent at noon on Friday, 24 March 2017. Two students, Mauricio Carpio and Bryan Vasquez were injured but released from hospitalization over the weekend.
The violence caused a suspension of the election. Classes at the university were suspended, but were resumed on Saturday, when few students or teachers showed up, as reported in Listin Diario. Classes are expected to resume with normalcy on Monday.
Castillo was killed during the elections of the Federation of Dominican Students taking place at the Medical School of the UASD. He had been employed for five years as inspector of public spaces at the Santo Domingo East municipality and was working on the distribution of food for the group that participated in the FED elections. “He was in the wrong place at the wrong time,” said his friend, Esteban Valdivia, president of the PRD in Santo Domingo East. He explained when he and others arrived to the Medicine Faculty of the UASD to deliver the food they encountered a chaotic scene.
The elections were being held to replace Ambiorix Rosario, president of the FED. The elections should take place every two years, but Rosario had maneuvered to remain in the post.
Rosario is known as a professional student. Records show that Rosario has been enrolled in the medical school at the university since early 1990s. In 2000, a report in Rumbo Magazine revealed he had been suspended from the university for having a low grade average of 59.7 and had only passed 15 subjects in 10 years in the university. His registration at the UASD dates back to 1991.
