Justice for Gabriel “Gabe” Arrazola
La comunidad latina en Minnesota lamenta el fallecimiento de Gabriel “Gabe” Arrazola, orgullosamente originario de Oaxaca.
La partida de Gabriel “Gabe” Arrazola deja un profundo vacío entre quienes tuvieron la fortuna de conocerlo, compartir su amistad y admirar su amor por sus raíces oaxaqueñas.
Originario de Oaxaca y radicado en Minnesota, Gabe llevó siempre consigo el orgullo de su tierra, de su cultura y de su gente. A través de su creatividad, su estilo y su manera de convivir con la comunidad, logró mantener viva la esencia de sus orígenes aún lejos de casa.
Desde Minneapolis compartió expresiones culturales como el arte popular, los alebrijes, el Día de Muertos y otras manifestaciones que forman parte de la identidad oaxaqueña, convirtiéndose en un puente entre sus raíces y la comunidad migrante en Minnesota.
Quienes convivieron con él lo recuerdan como una persona alegre, auténtica y apasionada por las tradiciones mexicanas. Su cariño por Oaxaca no solo estaba en sus palabras, sino en cada detalle que compartía, en su manera de conectar con la gente y en el orgullo con el que representaba sus orígenes.
En Minnesota encontró amistades, comunidad y una familia extendida que hoy lamenta profundamente su fallecimiento. Su ausencia deja silencio en muchos corazones, pero también recuerdos imborrables entre quienes recibieron una sonrisa, una conversación o simplemente su energía generosa.
Hoy, familiares, amigos y miembros de la comunidad latina lo despiden con tristeza, pero también con gratitud por la huella humana y cultural que dejó en quienes lo rodearon.
Descanse en paz, Gabriel “Gabe” Arrazola. Tu esencia, tu alegría y el orgullo de tus raíces permanecerán vivos en la memoria de tu gente.
Detrás de esta enorme pérdida hay una dolorosa realidad que hoy nos llena de indignación. El fallecimiento de Gabriel es objeto de una investigación activa por homicidio, convirtiéndo trágicamente en el quinto homicidio en St. Paul del año. Hay signos evidentes de violencia que, como comunidad, denunciamos fuertemente como un posible crimen de odio.
Rechazamos categóricamente este acto de crueldad. Nuestra comunidad latina no tolerará la violencia ni el prejuicio. Exigimos una investigación exhaustiva, justicia plena y que la persona responsable sea capturada y condenada con todo el peso de la ley.
En medio de este profundo dolor, queremos apoyar a los suyos en lo que viene. Los fondos recaudados a través de esta campaña se destinarán íntegramente a cubrir los gastos de repatriación de Gabriel a su amada Oaxaca, cumpliendo el deseo de que descanse en su tierra natal. Asimismo, el dinero servirá para brindar sustento y apoyo económico a su hermana y sobrinas.
Agradecemos de corazón cualquier donación, así como su ayuda compartiendo esta página y manteniendo viva la exigencia de justicia para Gabe.
The Latino community in Minnesota mourns the passing of Gabriel “Gabe” Arrazola, proudly originally from Oaxaca.
The departure of Gabriel Arrazola leaves a deep void among those who were fortunate enough to know him, sharing his friendship, and admiring his love for his Oaxacan roots.
Originally from Oaxaca and based in Minnesota, Gabe always carried with him the pride of his land, his culture, and his people. Through his creativity, his style, and his way of engaging with the community, he managed to keep the essence of his origins alive, even far from home.
From Minneapolis, he shared cultural expressions such as folk art, alebrijes, Day of the Dead celebrations, and other traditions that are part of the Oaxacan identity, becoming a bridge between his roots and the migrant community in Minnesota.
Those who spent time with him remember him as a joyful, authentic person who was passionate about Mexican traditions. His affection for Oaxaca was not only in his words, but in every detail he shared, in his way of connecting with people, and in the pride with which he represented his origins.
In Minnesota, he found friendships, community, and an extended family that today deeply mourns his passing. His absence leaves a silence in many hearts, but also unforgettable memories among those who received a smile, a conversation, or simply his generous energy.
Today, family, friends, and members of the Latino community say goodbye to him with sadness, but also with gratitude for the passionate, loving, and cultural mark he left on those around him.
Rest in peace, Gabriel “Gabe” Arrazola. Your essence, your joy, and the pride of your roots will remain alive in the memory of your people.
Behind this enormous loss lies a painful reality that fills us with indignation today. Gabriel's death is the subject of an active homicide investigation, tragically making it the fifth homicide in St. Paul this year. There are evident signs of violence that, as a community, we strongly denounce as a possible hate crime.
We categorically reject this act of cruelty. Our Latino community will not tolerate violence or prejudice. We demand a thorough investigation, full justice, and that the person responsible be captured and convicted to the fullest extent of the law.
In the midst of this profound pain, we want to support his loved ones in what comes next. The funds raised through this campaign will go entirely toward covering the expenses of repatriating Gabriel to his beloved Oaxaca, fulfilling the wish for him to rest in his native land. Additionally, the money will provide financial support and sustenance for his sister and nieces.
We, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for any donation, as well as your help in sharing this page and keeping the fight for justice alive for Gabe.
