Eddy Montes Praslin, 56, was shot dead Thursday at La Modelo prison outside the capital of Managua. His cousin Marvin Montes told The Associated Press that Montes Praslin moved to the U.S. when he was 13 years old, went to school in California and served in the Navy. He said Montes Praslin travelled back and forth between the two countries, establishing himself more permanently in Nicaragua since 2006. Montes Praslin at one point studied medicine, and he received a law degree from a Nicaraguan university in 2018, his cousin said. “Eddy was there and saw everything,” said cousin Montes.
