‘We Didn’t Deserve Something Like This’: Minor Died Because of Two Strange Men – Family Shares Details
A three-year-old boy died in a shooting in Apodaca, Nuevo León. His mother bid him farewell with a touching message on social media. The family is demanding justice, insisting the child was an innocent victim of a conflict that had nothing to do with them.
A three-year-old boy named Denilson passed away during a gunfight that occurred in the municipality of Apodaca, Nuevo León. The incident happened when two men on a motorcycle opened fire on a group of people gathered in front of a home, where they were socializing after a day’s work.
The boy’s grandfather recounted that when he saw one of the attackers pull out a weapon, he tried to shield the child with his body, but couldn’t prevent a bullet from hitting him. “I tried to cover him, but I couldn’t do anything. By the time I tried to cover him, my grandson had already fallen,” he said through tears.
The attack has left the family and the local community devastated. Neighbors and loved ones described the child as a happy, affectionate boy and a big fan of Spider-Man. Local authorities have not yet reported any arrests related to the incident.
The Family Is Demanding Justice and Denies Any Connection to the Crime.
Denilson’s family has publicly called for the case not to go unpunished. One of the child’s aunts wrote a direct message on social media demanding justice and stating that Denilson was an innocent victim of conflicts that weren’t theirs.
“Our little chubby one paid for other people’s problems,” the family expressed, also asking everyone to help get the word out and keep the pressure for answers alive.
In their statement, they insisted that no one in their family had any involvement in any criminal activities and affirmed that they were hardworking people. “God and the people who know us know that we didn’t deserve something like this,” another family member stated.
The community has shared the family’s pain, expressing their sadness online and sending messages of support to Denilson’s parents.
The Reaction on Social Media.
Many people added their condolences on Facebook and poured out their heartbroken feelings in response to the terrible news. “That’s right, I’m crying seeing this post. I was already aware of this sad news,” one person said, adding, “You were just starting to live, beautiful boy, and some evil people took your life. God willing, they will be found soon and given the full weight of the law.”.
Someone else said to the grieving mother, “Oh my God, what pain… If it’s any comfort, what I used to tell my mom was, ‘Mom, you know where he is and you know he’s not suffering.’ A lost or kidnapped child, aside from the pain, is the anguish… May God give you swift peace.”.
“😭😭😭 How sad. He was just a child without malice. Fly high, little one 🕊️,” another netizen commented, while someone else expressed, “What a great and irreparable pain 😔.”.
A Mother’s Farewell.
In the last video of the boy on social media, he can be seen as a curious child who liked to play with tools. Despite being so young, he was using a drill that looked gigantic in his tiny hands.
Denilson’s mother, Denisse Yamileth, posted an emotional message on her Facebook account, accompanied by a photo from the funeral. The image shows a white coffin surrounded by flowers and Spider-Man-themed balloons.
On the wall, a photograph of Denilson in a Spider-Man costume, his favorite superhero, stands out. In her post, Denisse dedicated these heartbreaking words to him:.
“I’m left without my superhero, Spiderman, without half of my life, without my 3 kisses, without the one who asks me for ‘num-num,’ without anyone to scold for being a rascal and a fighter, without the one who asks me for money to go to the store, without the little boy to chase when he ran off… and here I am saying goodbye to you, like the happy Spiderman you were, my love. I will love you my whole life and for eternity.”.
The wake was a somber occasion, thick with grief. Friends and family accompanied Denisse in her farewell with floral arrangements. The figure of Spider-Man was present not only in the decorations, but also as a symbol of the affection Denilson had for that character.
This unjust death of a child has caused irreparable pain. The family has repeated their plea to authorities for justice for their son, demanding that the attackers be identified and prosecuted. Meanwhile, the memory of the little boy lives on in those who knew him.
