A 19-year-old was taken into custody by local police amid investigations into a reported sexual encounter involving the individual. The arrest followed an incident that has drawn attention from officials and residents alike in the city center, where authorities continue to gather facts. The case is being handled by the police department, and further details will be released as the inquiry progresses.
The investigation centers on the death of a 52-year-old man whose body was discovered in the heart of the city earlier this week. The body was found in a passageway within the Fernández-Viagas square area, a location that is typically busy and frequented by pedestrians. Early assessments indicated a head wound, but investigators stated that the exact cause of death remains undetermined at this stage and will require a thorough autopsy and forensic analysis.
Neighbors described the deceased as a longtime resident of the city who had been seen regularly in the area. They indicated that the man, originally from Grenada, had lived in Antequera for an extended period and often slept outdoors, particularly in the vicinity where the body was found. The community waits for more information as authorities work to establish the circumstances surrounding the death and the events leading up to it.
