In Camagüey, one of the three teenagers wounded in a violent machete attack during a quinceañera celebration is on the path to recovery after undergoing surgery at the provincial hospital. The young patient, identified as Yohanisvel Peña, is currently admitted in the neurosurgery ward, bed two. His aunt has reported that the surgical procedure was successful, and his condition is stable so far.
"I ask for prayers for his health and speedy recovery, so he can return home safely," urged Lourdes Peña in a post on the Facebook group "yo soy de magarabomba."
Yohanisvel, who resides in the rural community of Pueblo Nuevo in the municipality of Guáimaro, was one of the victims in this devastating event. During the party, a man stormed in with a machete, tragically killing the birthday girl's father, who bravely attempted to shield the guests.
The incident took place at the Gualberto Galván Agricultural Production Cooperative (CPA) in the Carlos Manuel de Céspedes municipality, leaving the community in shock. The attack resulted in the death of Alfredo, the quinceañera's father, and injuries to three young attendees, including Yohanisvel, who was urgently transported to a nearby medical facility.
Witnesses recounted that the celebration was proceeding smoothly until the aggressor unexpectedly appeared and unleashed a brutal assault on those present. Alfredo sacrificed his life while trying to safeguard the guests, and local residents remember him as a family-oriented man. "May God grant the deceased eternal rest and a quick recovery to the injured," expressed a close acquaintance.
