A Violent Night Outside the Local Academy
The attack happened Monday night on Comandante Pérez Salmón avenue. As Vinces and a student left training, gunmen in a red car opened fire. At least sixteen shots were fired during this coordinated strike. Emergency teams rushed the instructor to the hospital, but the 44-year-old sadly passed away. His student remains in critical condition while the neighborhood struggles to process this senseless act of violence.
The Lasting Legacy of Gallo Negro
Vinces spent over a decade teaching Muay Thai, boxing, and MMA. He recently won a major grappling title, showcasing his incredible dedication. His academy was a sanctuary for local youth, teaching them discipline and perseverance. Because of his passion, many lives were changed for the better.
