Regardless of the pandemic and the police no-entry restrictions, this young man approached the bagged corpse of his brother, lay down and hugged him as if waiting for him, Miguel Angel, to hug him back. His family assures that he was a hard-working boy, without problems with anyone. After 3 days disappeared, his family received the fateful call. He was found with stab wounds in the neck, back and abdomen near his neighborhood. At 16, Miguel Angel Pérez Oquendo is one more of the young victims of violence in the northern neighborhoods of Medellín where there have been 81 homicides this year.
