The final arguments in the trial against Carlos Julián Maldonado Dávila for the death of Natalia Nicole will begin this Friday in the San Juan Court.
The judicial process is expected to begin at 1:30 pm.
The events occurred at around 11:20 pm on January 4, 2022, on the left side of the ramp that connects with the PR-22 highway, known as Expreso José de Diego, in the direction of San Juan to Bayamón.
The defendant for the death of Natalia Nicole received bullet wounds while driving.
The young woman was changing the tire on the right front of her vehicle together with Sosa Bigio, 23, when they were hit by the BMW vehicle allegedly driven by Maldonado Dávila, who was the director of Barceloneta Tourism.
The accused, the authorities maintain, continued the march, fleeing and never stopping to help the couple. As a result of the multiple bodily traumas suffered as a result of the impact, Natalia Nickole died the following day at the Hospital Centro Médico de Río Piedras. Sosa Bigio received medical attention, since she suffered trauma to her left hip and right leg.
Due to these facts, the San Juan Prosecutor’s Office of the Department of Justice filed two charges against him under Article 5.07 of Law No. 22 of 2000, known as the Puerto Rico Vehicle and Traffic Law, for causing the death of the young woman and physical injuries to Sosa Bigio while recklessly and negligently driving a motor vehicle.
Maldonado Dávila, Justice maintained, did not stop to offer help or provide information about the event to the authorities, for which a charge was also filed under Article 4.02 of said statute.
