<div>It is with broken hearts that we share the unexpected passing of our beloved Juan Miguel Munoz Penalver
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Juan was only 21 years old. He was a hard worker and someone we loved deeply. Though he faced personal struggles, he was still our family, and his loss has left us devastated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This tragedy happened suddenly, and we were not financially prepared for the expenses that come with laying him to rest. We are asking for help to cover funeral and memorial costs so that we can give Juan the dignity and peace he deserves.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any contribution, no matter how small, would mean the world to our family during this incredibly painful time. If you are unable to donate, sharing this page would also help more than you know.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your kindness, your prayers, and your support as we navigate this unimaginable loss.

<div>Es con el corazón roto que compartimos el inesperado fallecimiento de nuestro querido Juan Miguel Muñoz Penalver.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Juan solo tenía 21 años. Era muy trabajador y alguien a quien amábamos profundamente. Aunque se enfrentó a luchas personales, todavía era nuestra familia, y su pérdida nos ha dejado devastados.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Esta tragedia ocurrió de repente, y no estábamos preparados financieramente para los gastos que vienen con su descanso. Estamos pidiendo ayuda para cubrir los gastos funerarios y conmemorativos para que podamos darle a Juan la dignidad y la paz que se merece.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cualquier contribución, por pequeña que sea, significaría el mundo para nuestra familia durante este momento increíblemente doloroso. Si no puedes donar, compartir esta página también ayudaría más de lo que crees.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gracias por su amabilidad, sus oraciones y su apoyo mientras navegamos por esta pérdida inimaginable.
</div>

</div>
<div>On February 14, my stepson was arrested in the city of Louisville, KY on charges that do not reflect the reality of what was happening.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He suffered from mental health problems and received treatment at Seven Counties Services in downtown Louisville. That day he was going through one of his episodes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He was charged with assault and other charges, and he was also placed with an arrest warrant by ICE. We understand that when someone commits a crime, they must face the consequences. We agree on that.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What we cannot accept is the treatment he received while he was in custody - a treatment that ended up costing him his life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On Thursday, February 26, while we were waiting for him in court, we received a notification indicating a change in the status of the case of Juan M. Muñoz Penalver, barely 21 years old.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We thought that perhaps he had been transferred to ICE custody, but there was no record of him. Minutes later, his defense lawyer called us to inform us that he had been found dead in his cell. At that time, they didn't give us any explanation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As the days went by, alarming details have emerged and nothing makes sense.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Authorities say there is an ongoing internal investigation and they cannot give more details. Meanwhile, several media outlets have published the news, but they do not tell the full story.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He arrived in this country in 2024. He was granted a parole for two years, he had a work permit and his residence application was in process after completing his fingerprint appointment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Miguel - as he liked to be called - was a young worker, with dreams and goals. Yes, he struggled with his mental health, but that didn't take away his value as a human being.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today we ask for justice. We ask for answers. We ask for transparency.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please help us spread the word. He deserves justice.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
</div>

<div>El 14 de febrero, mi hijastro fue arrestado en la ciudad de Louisville, KY, por cargos que no reflejan la realidad de lo que estaba sucediendo.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sufría de problemas de salud mental y recibió tratamiento en Seven Counties Services en el centro de Louisville. Ese día estaba pasando por uno de sus episodios.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Fue acusado de asalto y otros cargos, y también se le impuso una orden de arresto por parte del ICE. Entendemos que cuando alguien comete un delito, debe enfrentar las consecuencias. Estamos de acuerdo en eso.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lo que no podemos aceptar es el trato que recibió mientras estaba bajo custodia, un tratamiento que terminó costándole la vida.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>El jueves 26 de febrero, mientras lo esperábamos en la corte, recibimos una notificación que indicaba un cambio en el estado del caso de Juan M. Muñoz Penalver, con apenas 21 años.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Pensamos que tal vez había sido transferido a la custodia de ICE, pero no había registro de él. Minutos después, su abogado defensor nos llamó para informarnos de que lo habían encontrado muerto en su celda. En ese momento, no nos dieron ninguna explicación.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A medida que pasan los días, han surgido detalles alarmantes y nada tiene sentido.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Las autoridades dicen que hay una investigación interna en curso y que no pueden dar más detalles. Mientras tanto, varios medios de comunicación han publicado la noticia, pero no cuentan la historia completa.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Llegó a este país en 2024. Se le concedió una libertad condicional por dos años, tenía un permiso de trabajo y su solicitud de residencia estaba en proceso después de completar su cita con huellas dactilares.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Miguel, como le gustaba que lo llamaran, era un joven trabajador, con sueños y metas. Sí, luchó con su salud mental, pero eso no le quitó su valor como ser humano.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hoy pedimos justicia. Pedimos respuestas. Pedimos transparencia.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Por favor, ayúdanos a correr la voz. Se merece justicia.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> Gracias desde el fondo de mi corazón.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
