Miguel described Omar Mateen as a confused gay man and a heavy drinker. Miguel believes Mateen’s attack at Pulse nightclub’s Latin Night was an attempt at revenge. He says Mateen was angry after discovering that one of the two Puerto Rican gay men he’d had a threesome with was HIV-positive. Miguel said that despite tests coming up negative, Mateen feared not enough time had passed for an accurate result, and he wanted to “make them pay”.
Miguel says that their meetings were at Orlando’s Ambassador Hotel, meeting 15 to 20 times between October and December 2015. Univision contacted the Ambassador Hotel, which confirmed that Omar Mateen was a familiar face. They claimed that Mateen had stayed at the hotel at least 63 times last year.
