Damaris Xiomara Velásquez Figueroa

Damaris Xiomara Velásquez Figueroa is a Guatemalan auxiliary nurse who has recently been implicated in a criminal case involving extortion. She was arrested on December 10, 2023, for allegedly using her bank account to facilitate financial transactions related to extortion schemes. Velásquez has been linked to Wilfredo Alfredo Monzón Paniagua, also known as 'el Sniper,' a leader of the Barrio 18 gang who escaped from the Fraijanes 2 prison. Her frequent visits to Monzón Paniagua prior to his escape raised suspicions, leading to her current legal troubles.
