The sheriff’s office said Montera told the deputy that Cruz Correa had two daughters that still lived in Cuba. He also said Cruz Correa had been trying to repair two large boats before the theft, which Montera allowed Cruz Correa to store in his storage unit.
As it turns out, Cruz Correa was, in fact, one of the four men killed in the shootout with the Cuban government, along with Pavel Alling Peña, Michel Ortega Casanova, and Ledián Padrón Guevara.
Six other men — Cristian Ernesto Acosta Guevara, Conrado Galindo Serrior, José Manuel Rodríguez Castelló, Leordán Cruz Gomez, Amijail Sanchez Gonzalez, and Roberto Alvarez Avila — were injured and detained by the Cuban government, according to a Thursday release.
