Arnaldo Darío Rosado

Arnaldo Darío Rosado

Arnaldo Darío Rosado (November 23, 1953 - July 25, 1978) was an activist for the independence of Puerto Rico from a very young age. In July 25, 1978 he was killed by police officers (along with friend Carlos Soto Arriví) after being lured into bombing the communication towers on Cerro Maravilla by undercover agent, Alejandro González Malavé.

The killing of both men spawned a decades-long case (see Maravilla Hill case) that to this date hasn't been fully solved yet.
