Overview
- A 20-year-old medical student, Ibrahim Hernández Gala, was last seen after exiting a taxi in front of La Chira beach and has been missing since the early hours of Friday, June 26.
- Security cameras recorded the taxi drop-off and investigators recovered only the student’s clothing on the sand, which are being treated as key physical evidence.
- The student’s companion returned by a second taxi to search the shore with the driver and a local sereno but did not find him; police say that taxi stayed about eight minutes before leaving.
- The Policía Nacional is reviewing CCTV and preparing statements from the companion and both taxi drivers while the Unidad de Salvataje continues coordinated beach searches.
- Family members who traveled from Huancavelica fear the sea may have carried him away and have urged anyone with information to contact the authorities immediately.
