It was a tenant of the building who had contacted the emergency services. The woman would have witnessed the fall of the victim. She told the Journal that she heard screams in the previous hours in the apartment where the drama took place.
According to the SPVQ, the victim suffered serious injuries, but there is no fear for his life. She fell in the snow, but would have narrowly avoided a wooden stair railing.
Assault on 4 people
In his other case, in which he was under arrest warrant, Garcia de Santiago is charged with assaulting four people on February 18, 2022. He also allegedly committed mischief on a car at that time.
He was to return to court on January 25, but did not show up, the judge issuing an arrest warrant against him.
