The victim left a bar at 6:30 p.m. when she was run over and dragged by a black Volkswagen Golf. Reports revealed that Douglas got into a heated argument with a man inside the bar after seeing him with Taynara before the incident occurred. 

A witness who works at the bar claimed that Douglas pulled up the handbrake after running over and dragging Taynara to increase the friction before getting away. 

Police launched an investigation into Douglas and located the 30-year-old in the north of the capital. Reports also indicate that he abandoned his car in another neighborhood. The victim's mother claimed that both individuals were in a formal relationship before the incident occurred.
