Hector Marino Nunez Ramirez he was part of one of the migrant caravans that crossed the jungles of Central America to reach the United States; Since he left, however, his whereabouts are unknown.
The last thing that became known about him was a video published on social networks, in which it can be seen that the man cannot go any further, he looks very exhausted and his face is covered in mud. Voices can be heard in the background telling him to keep going and not let himself die.
Nunez He is from Cali but worked in Ipiales, on the border with Ecuador. He recently returned with the idea of immigrating to the United States and seeking a better future for his family.
Despite being told it was very dangerous, he decided to do it and went to the border to invade the area known as “Tanpón de Darién”.
In the video, Núñez can be heard saying that his legs hurt and are weak. They advise him to stretch and he does, asking them to carry him, but they reply, “You can’t, even if you were skinny. Night has caught up with us.”
From the Nacional neighborhood of Cali, one of Núñez’s relatives said that the last thing they knew was that Héctor was in Camp 3, but then they wouldn’t have known otherwise. He also recalled being told that it was a dangerous route and that no one should do it.
The images went viral last weekend and have worried Hector’s family, who have formed a prayer chain asking for help to find out what happened to the Cali man. They also have a query to the State Department, the Office of the Ombudsman and anyone who might know his whereabouts to find out if he’s okay. “The mother is waiting to hear about her fate,” said one of the relatives.
