An elderly man died from injuries after a brutal attack by a group of young men in Colón, Panama. The community is demanding justice.


The man did not survive the head injuries he sustained after fighting for his life for several days in a hospital. Neighbors demand justice and for the perpetrators of this violent act, which took the life of a hardworking and well-known man in the area, to be found. The community has been shaken by the news. Hudson was first taken to Dr. Manuel Amador Guerrero Hospital and, due to the severity of his condition, was later transferred to Santo Tomás Hospital in the city of Panama. Authorities are expected to launch an investigation to locate the group involved in the attack. On that day, it was learned that a group of young people on electric scooters arrived at 10th Avenue Roosevelt, where the elderly man was watching over vehicles. Monday night, the death of Rogelio Hudson, an elderly man who had been brutally stoned last Friday, February 13, in the province of Colón, was confirmed. Without a word, they began throwing stones at him until he was left seriously injured. He had skull fractures and brain injuries from the blunt force trauma he received during the attack.
