Lourdes Belen worked as an illegal maid in Puerto Rico to save up to build her home in the DR. Her dreams were cut short when her 12-year old daughter, Jennifer Manuela Estefan Belen died the result of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Belen gave herself up to Migration in Puerto Rico, asking to be deported so she could return to attend her daughter's funeral. She arrived at 2pm.
34-year old Navy man Ignacio Rafael Marmolejos (Chino Yaya) is blamed for the death of the child. San Luis neighbors say he fired several bullets in a dispute over some land near the child's home and one killed the little girl. The sailor was sent to civilian justice.
He argued that the bullet strayed when several unknown intended to take his gun away from him.
Family and neighbors reject this version. El Caribe reports that neighbors say that Chino was part of a neighborhood gang that spread terror in the area, controlling everything in complicity with the authorities.
Jennifer Manuela Estefan Belen was an outstanding student at the Liceo Carlixta Reyes Paulino. She was buried at the Cristo Salvador cemetery. in 7th grade. She lived with her father.
