Victor Alfonso Brito Vasquez, known as “El Guachy,” was killed yesterday, Monday 29 October during an incident at the Correction and Rehabilitation Center in Vista al Valle in San Francisco de Macoris.
The prisoner, who was serving a 30-year sentence for murdering architecture student Lohara Tavarez in 2009, was shot whilst trying to escape. However, several of his fellow inmates did manage to escape, including Jeffy Sandoval, sentenced to 15 years in jail for the murder of the Urena brothers, and Facsocary Nunez, Jeri Antonio Ortiz Lopez, Bayron Zayas Morillo, Marcos Noel Brito and Gregorio Toribio.
El Guachy was not only convicted for the murder of Tavarez, but also for the murder of an AMET sergeant. He was apparently hit in the leg by a bullet while trying to escape with the others at 3:30 in the early hours of Monday, 29 October.
