He parked his motorcycle near the hospital, but found that it had been stolen in the few minutes he was away. Along with his mother they searched the surrounding streets before coming across a man in possession of Miguel’s motorbike. They confronted the suspect but an accomplice arrived on the scene on another motorcycle. The second man reportedly took out his gun and threatened the pair. Ruiz then reached for her phone to take a photo of the gunman moments before the heartless thug shot her in cold blood.
