Lorenzo González Cacho (November 29, 2001 – March 9, 2010) was an eight-year-old Puerto Rican boy that was murdered in his home in Dorado, Puerto Rico on March 9, 2010. At the time of his death, his mother, Ana Cacho, and two older sisters were at the house.[1]
The case has gained notoriety in the island for the discrepancies and irregularities surrounding the evidence and testimonies about it, which have led to the boy's mother being labeled as a potential suspect - along with three other males - by the island's Secretary of Justice Guillermo Somoza.[2]
As of June 2014, no charges have been filed in the murder.
Background
Lorenzo González Cacho was born on November 29, 2001. He was the third and youngest child of Ahmed Alí González and Ana Cacho. The couple already had two older daughters. From an early age, González showed interest in sports, and was active in a soccer team. He was studying at Dorado Academy in his hometown. At the time of Lorenzo's death, his parents were in the process of divorcing. Also, at that time, his sisters were approximately 5 and 13 years old respectively.[3]
Death
On March 9, 2010, Ana Cacho took her son to the Treatment and Diagnostic Center in Dorado, Puerto Rico. Cacho arrived at around 5:00 and 5:30 am with his son covered in blood. The child was pronounced dead at the clinic. Upon questioning, Cacho claimed that her son had fallen from his bed at their home in Dorado del Mar. However, this version was discarded by the autopsy which revealed severe injuries to the face and head, which included at least one stabbing wound to the face.[4]
Suspects
Although no charges have been filed, the Puerto Rico Department of Justice has confirmed that four persons are considered suspects in the death of González Cacho.[5]
- Ana Cacho – Lorenzo's mother. She was identified as a suspect by the Department of Justice in March 19, 2010. Her two daughters were also removed from her home on March 30, 2010 and they haven't had contact since. Through the process, Cacho has maintained her innocence.
- Jesús Genaro Camacho – Engineer and Cacho's boyfriend at the moment of the death. He was identified as a suspect in October 26, 2011. He admitted being with Cacho the night of the murder, but denies being in the house when the incident occurred. He has also maintained his innocence in the event.
- Arnaldo "Naldy" Colón – A friend of Cacho. It has been rumored he was at the house the night of the murder.
- William Marrero Rivera – Federal agent working for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). He was identified as a suspect in August 2012 by the authorities. Allegedly he was also present in Cacho's house the night of the murder. Initially, he was suspended from his job, but was later transferred to Texas.
Luis Gustavo Rivera Seijo, known as "El Manco", was previously identified as a suspect, but the authorities discarded his involvement in the crime.[6]
