Livier Quirino, the mother of Alejandro Faudoa Quirino, has many doubts to clarify: the man was shot dead on September 20 in Oklahoma in a controversial mix-up involving a US Highway Patrol officer.

A month later, on Friday, October 20, 2023, Alejandro, who was known as “El Güero,” will be buried in a cemetery in Torreón, Mexico, Telediario reported.

Livier will not attend the funeral; According to the aforementioned media, she will make optimal use of the seven days she has on American soil thanks to a humanitarian visa.

This mother will continue to raise her voice to demand justice in Oklahoma for Alejandro’s death.

What happened to Alejandro in Oklahoma

Alejandro was 28 years old and had dual nationality, the press pointed out. He was born in California, Telediario said.

On September 20, he traveled in his caravan to Turner, Oklahoma. “When he reached mile 183, near a toll booth, he was stopped by a Highway Patrol officer,” he said.

The Mexican press reported that “the state agent shot Alejandro several times, who died on the spot.”

The most common version is that “the officer mistook Alejandro’s cell phone for a gun.” And he fired his weapon eight times, Telediario noted.

It is stated that “the officer’s body camera was turned off” at the time of the controversial event.

Betrayal?

Livia wants to know the truth. She told the media that she had hired a private investigator and was advised by lawyers “to investigate whether her son’s death was a murder with treason and advantage.”

The mother reported on Wednesday, October 18, that “they planted drugs in the cabin of her son’s trailer to distract from the matter.”

Before the tragic moment, and according to what Telediario reported, “Alejandro communicated with his fiancée through text messages.” He told him about the patrol and “that they made him get out of the trailer.”

Mexican media said mid-week that the Highway Patrol officer involved in the case has been “suspended.”

Livia is waiting for answers to her questions and is calling for solidarity via her Facebook account. “I ask the entire Latin community of Oklahoma and the entire Lagunera Torreón Coahuila region for their prayers to provide clarification and justice for my son.”
