Es de gran tristeza perder un hermano y colega en el cumplimiento del deber. Dios le guarde y le de fuerzas a esos que han perdido a un gran ser querido como el agente Burgos-Velez. Pues solo el que se levanta dia a dia y expone su vida por el bien de la humanidad se merece el respeto y bendiciones. Dios te bendiga y tu cumplimiento no es en vano estamos en la lucha diaria al igual que tu que distes el mas alto sacrificio en el nombre de la ley.
