A week later, on November 8, 1973, José RODRIGUEZ ACOSTA, 55 years old, a merchant and father of the aforementioned, was killed, also at the Arica Regiment in La Serena. He had been detained since the 7th at said military barracks, where he had presented himself after his home was raided.

The respective death certificate indicates the cause of death as: "gunshot wound" and the location as: "Arica Regiment of La Serena." There is no official version of these events. This Commission formed the conviction that the death of José Rodríguez is the responsibility of State agents who gravely violated his right to life. This conviction is based on the following elements:

It is proven by documents that the death occurred inside the Regiment and that it was caused by a gunshot wound, which makes it reasonably presumed that the perpetrators were military personnel.

There is no explanation regarding the motives for his killing, much less any due process of law.

Multiple requests for information made by this Commission went unanswered.
