This picture is taken from within a hospital. It's an over the shoulder shot of a military police officer. In front of him is Emerson Roney Diaz (21), a member of the Barrio 18, receiving treatment of a gunshot wound obtained in prison. We see his back as he is treated by a doctor in dark blue scrubs as others look on.

  • Emerson Roney Diaz (21), a member of the Barrio 18, was admitted to the hospital emergency room for the treatment of a gunshot wound obtained in prison. The military police guarding him in the hospital commented that they had shot him because “(…) he fired at us first and we responded.” Most likely using an illegally obtained firearm. 10/07/2023.
