At the time of the crime, the young woman was babysitting her young daughter when she was surprised by the attacker.

Neighbors report that the girl ran out of the house with her face covered in blood, pleading for help, which alerted the entire community. Sadly, by the time rescuers arrived, Daniela had already died from the severe injuries inflicted by her brother-in-law.

Following the murder, Endri Alonso voluntarily surrendered to the National Police. He is currently in custody awaiting the start of legal proceedings against him. The Prosecutor’s Office has confirmed that the case will be treated as aggravated femicide, which could carry the maximum penalty provided for by Dominican law.

The community is in shock
