**************** ENGLISH ****************

Our Fausto has left this world before his time. He was a victim of road rage homicide that occurred Friday, August 25, 2023 in the Bronx.

Our Fausto is a true victim of "wrong place, wrong time."

Fausto was called by a friend who was involved in vehicle accident on the Cross Bronx, and as a true hero he went out to lend his expertise in documenting the incident and help in moving the damaged car to the auto garage where he worked.

When Fausto arrived he started recording on his phone the crash and damages to the car. The perpetrators originally fled but returned to the scene of the accident and started shooting at the group involved in the accident.

Fausto was documenting the scene of the accident when he was shot.

The men who caused the accident and fired into the group, fled the scene.

Fausto is the only casualty.

Fausto will be rememberd as a kind, generous, resourcefal son, brother, husband, uncle, friend, neighbor, community leader, etc...

Because of the shock of his untimely death, we need the support from the community to honor Fausto and take him back to his homeland to be buried with his parents.

Nuestro Fausto ha dejado este mundo antes de su tiempo. Fue víctima de un homicidio por furia al volante ocurrido el viernes 25 de agosto de 2023 en el Bronx.

Nuestro Fausto es una verdadera víctima del "lugar equivocado, momento equivocado".

Fausto fue llamado por un amigo que estuvo involucrado en un accidente automovilístico en Cross Bronx y, como un verdadero héroe, salió a brindar su experiencia para documentar el incidente y ayudar a trasladar el automóvil dañado al taller donde trabajaba.

Cuando llegó Fausto comenzó a registrar en su teléfono el choque y los daños al auto. Los perpetradores inicialmente huyeron pero regresaron al lugar del accidente y comenzaron a disparar contra el grupo involucrado en el accidente.

Fausto estaba documentando la escena del accidente cuando le dispararon.

Los hombres que provocaron el accidente y dispararon contra el grupo huyeron del lugar.

Fausto es la única víctima.

Fausto será recordado como un hijo, hermano, esposo, tío, amigo, vecino, líder comunitario, etc. amable, generoso e ingenioso.

Debido al impacto de su prematura muerte, necesitamos el apoyo de la comunidad para honrar a Fausto y llevarlo de regreso a su tierra natal para ser enterrado con sus padres.
