ALVARO RESTREPO, APPELLANT, v. THE STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE.

PER CURIAM.

It was improper closing argument for the prosecutor to state, without support in the record, that a witness was absent "maybe because he is afraid to testify against this man." Although the defense objection should have been sustained, we conclude that the error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. See State v. DiGuilio, 491 So.2d 1129 (Fla. 1986). No reversible error has been shown with respect to the other points on appeal.

Affirmed.
