Fatal Pinar del Río school stabbing death of Luis Avade Sosa López – Obituary

Luis Avade Sosa López lost his life after being fatally stabbed by a ninth-grade student at the 27 de Noviembre basic secondary school in Viñales, Pinar del Río. The tragedy occurred following a confrontation where Luis, who served as the school’s administrator, reprimanded the student.

The Provincial General Directorate of Education in Pinar del Río issued a statement expressing deep condolences to Luis’s family and confirmed that authorities are actively investigating the incident to clarify what happened. Despite the severity of the event, the school continues to operate as usual.

Details remain scarce as officials have not disclosed information about the student responsible, who is a minor, nor about his current legal status. This silence reflects a broader pattern of limited transparency by Cuban authorities when addressing sensitive matters, which has led social media and independent outlets to become primary sources of information.

According to eyewitness accounts circulating online, the incident began after Luis reprimanded the student harshly in front of classmates. The student then left the school, returned with a sharp weapon, and attacked Luis inside an office on campus. The victim suffered multiple stab wounds, including a fatal injury to the head.

The community is deeply shocked by the loss of Luis Avade Sosa López, who was described as a well-respected and beloved figure. Calls for more openness from the authorities continue amid ongoing public concern.
