41-year old civil engineer Luis Liriano V?squez was shot to death around 9 pm by a watchman at the Palacio del Cine, one of the better cinemas in Santo Domingo, on Thursday, 1 April in the presence of several families. He had gone to see "La Vida es Bella", the Oscar-winning film by Roberto Benigni, with two friends. According to testimony by Ana Contreras, the guard assassinated Liriano because he did not give him a tip. Once inside the car with Ingrid Mena and Ana Contreras, the watchman knocked on the window asking for a tip. The engineer refused this and the watchman called him a "come solo," a person that wouldn’t share with anyone. Liriano got out of the car to exchange words with the watchman. His friends urged him to forget things and return to the car. When he turned his back to the watchman and was returning to his car, he was shot in the head before he could even open the door to his car. Liriano was married to Margarita Moronta and had three girls, of 13, 8 and 5 years. They were in Puerto Plata on Easter holiday. The watchman is on the run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
