“I went out in the opposite direction because I thought they were not going to come back. When I fall I hear the motorcycle again, then I drop my phone. I go back on July 9, I enter a business and they stop at the corner. He gave them the voice to stop and they went on by”, his wife added.

“The idea of ​​my YouTube channel is to give security advice to the people, to the residents of the neighborhoods. And it happened to me. He was telling a story, an act of insecurity, and while he was recording we heard that motorcycle, which appeared out of nowhere”Munoz added.

The man was able to recognize that the criminals were traveling on a burgundy Yamaha Fazer motorcycle with black plastics. “It was a manhunt, they took the motorcycle for a ride, they followed us down the sidewalk,” detailed the ex-policeman.

“My first reaction was to say ‘don’t give him anything.’ Perhaps if they had been armed they would shoot at us. But that was my reaction, I don’t know if it was the best or the worst, it was the one that came to me at the time.” the woman said.

“You have to go out on the street and trust in public safety. Unfortunately, the police are tied hand and foot.” Munoz finished.
