Cuban reggaeton artist Yomil Hidalgo has confirmed the tragic and violent death of a very close friend in Cuba. The passing of the young man, known as "El Tresto," has deeply affected the community in the Cayo Hueso neighborhood of Central Havana.

According to various reports shared on social media, the incident occurred in Trillo Park around 10:00 p.m. However, authorities have yet to release any official information about the circumstances surrounding the event or the full identity of the victim.

The news initially spread through the account @un_martitodurako8_live_oficial, where numerous users alleged that the young man died after sustaining multiple stab wounds. A witness identified as @n.a.o.m.y.0.5 stated she was present during the attack, writing, "It happened right in Trillo Park. I saw it myself, no one had to tell me."

Other comments indicate that witnesses attempted to rush him to a hospital, but El Tresto did not survive.

The Heartfelt Words of Yomil

Hours after the news broke, Yomil Hidalgo took to his social media to confirm the heartbreaking loss with a message full of grief. "Yesterday, life took away one of my best friends again... It was us against the world," he shared.

The musician reminisced about how El Tresto had been by his side since the early days of his career, describing him as loyal and a cherished companion. "In my life, he was one of the kindest and most fun people... The bravest and most handsome little guy Cayo Hueso ever had is gone," he lamented.

One of the most poignant lines in his farewell was: "Cayo Hueso is in mourning again. They killed my Tresto." These words capture the emotional devastation of this latest loss in his close-knit circle.

A Friendship Forged in Music and Loyalty

The bond between Yomil, El Dany, and "El Tresto" dates back to the formative years of the duo Yomil and El Dany. According to Yomil, they shared difficult times, dreams, and personal growth both on and off stage.

El Dany's death in December 2020 had already left a profound wound in Yomil, who has admitted on multiple occasions that he has never fully healed from that loss.

Now, with the passing of another close friend, the pain once again strikes his inner circle. The community of Cayo Hueso remains in shock following the incident in Trillo Park, mourning yet another tragedy in their neighborhood.
