Damián Valdez-Galloso, the suspected killer of popular Cuban reggaeton artist El Taiger, appeared in a South Florida court on Thursday morning. The 49-year-old was extradited from New York to Miami to face charges related to the fatal shooting of El Taiger in Hialeah last month.
Valdez-Galloso faces multiple charges, including second-degree murder, failure to register as a sex offender, and tampering with evidence. The victim, El Taiger, whose real name was José Manuel Carbajal Zaldívar, was found shot in an abandoned SUV near Jackson Memorial Hospital on October 3.

Fans and supporters have been mourning his passing and seeking closure through the legal process. The extradition and court appearance of Valdez-Galloso bring the case one step closer to resolution.
