Héctor Jose Ferrer Ríos (March 27, 1970 – November 5, 2018) was a Puerto Rican politician and attorney.
He played mostly as an infielder and was a member of several teams like Cupey, Vega Alta, San Lorenzo, Aibonito, Cidra, and Cayey.
[8] Due to the defeat of the PPD in the race for governor and both the Senate and the House, Ferrer remained as minority speaker.
He also served as a panelist and commentator on the TV program Los Seis de la Tarde, transmitted via Univision Puerto Rico.
[11] In 2016, Ferrer returned to politics and ran for Resident Commissioner of Puerto Rico along Gubernatorial candidate David Bernier.
Once divorced, he had a relationship Elisa "Beba" Hernández for seven years, with whom he had a son, Eduardo José Ferrer Hernandez.
Ferrer was an avid athlete and practiced a variety of sports, including baseball, jogging, cycling, and swimming, among others.
[14] With conflicting versions surrounding the circumstances of the event and how it was handled, Ferrer resigned all of his political positions five days after the accusation.
[15] Several months later, the Office of the Special Independent Prosecutor's Panel (FEI in Spanish) determined there was insufficient evidence against Ferrer and opted not to press any charges against him.
[24] Carlos Delgado Altieri, Secretary General for the PPD and mayor of Isabela, Puerto Rico, confirmed the news and called it "something quick and unexpected".
