Cristel, daughter of Vicente, has expressed her strong conviction that the recently arrested individual is responsible for the events. In an interview with the program Herrera en COPE Gran Canaria, she confessed to feeling "a bit of relief," although this feeling is mixed with "a lot of grief, a lot of sadness, and a lot of anger." The news of the arrest has allowed her, despite the pain, to "put a face to this anger."

The victim's daughter showed absolute confidence in the police's actions. "We completely trust the police's judgment, because they always told us, 'you have to wait, you have to have everything tied up properly.'" Therefore, with the step taken by the officers, she firmly concluded: "It's not that I'm optimistic, it's that I have no doubt."

Cristel also expressed her deep gratitude to the National Police, not only for solving the case but also for the humane and empathetic treatment received. "I am very, very, very grateful to my police colleagues for not only the resolution but for how, the empathy they have shown and how they have handled the entire case, always keeping us informed and caring for us," she stated.

Regarding her petition drive to demand greater security in the capital, Cristel confirmed that the initiative will continue. After a period of mourning, the project will move forward, as she believes the problem of insecurity goes beyond the tragic incident that affected her father. "We are going to continue, Javier, because this goes much further, and we have always said it, than what happened to my father," she insisted, describing insecurity as a "systemic problem that is already happening throughout the island," with the emergence of new hotspots in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
