Lucrecia grew up incredibly poor in the village of Vicente Noble in the Dominican Republic. Friends remembered her as a 'very shy' but 'good' person in the Disney+ documentary.
Upon arriving in Madrid, Lucrecia managed to secure a job as a maid in a family home with three children. But less than three weeks later, she found herself unemployed and living on the streets. One man was seriously injured, while Lucrecia was shot twice, once through the heart. She was rushed to hospital but was tragically dead on arrival. Investigations found Lucrecia was hit by a special bullet only manufactured for police and military use.
The group had extreme-right, racist beliefs and had reportedly discussed 'scaring' the Dominicans and 'teaching them a lesson' before targeting the abandoned nightclub. The men were locked up for their heinous crimes, with Lluis receiving 54 years behind bars and the others sentenced to 24 years.
