The mass brawl took place 30th November 2014 by Madrid’s river “Manzanares”, near the “Vicente Calderon” stadium, hours before the match between “Atletico Madrid” and “Deportivo de la Coruna”.
After the brawl, involving around 200 people, Policia arrested 82 individuals and 4 were imprisoned accused of causing Jimmy's death, but last May the Magistrates ordered their release lacking evidence they participated in the event.

Policia maintained accusation against the 4 alleged perpetrators, who were joined by 2 more detainees today allegedly involved in the events that led to the death of the “Coruña” supporter.
Investigation made clear - both Jimmy and the other supporter who survived - were thrown into the river by the same group of aggressors in the space of 43 seconds. Although the judge freed the first 4 accused of the murder, he upheld the accusation of involvement in the brawl.
On 18th December, the judge sentenced 3 alleged perpetrators to prison without bail, although none admitted their involvement in the events during their statement to the Magistrate.
Five days later, the Judge ordered a fourth person arrested in Valencia in to prison also accused of the death of Jimmy.
