On May 4, 1984, around 8:00 PM, a group of residents attempted to forcibly enter the Baratísimo Supermarket located at the intersection of Teniente Cruz and José Joaquín Pérez streets in the Pudahuel commune, an action that was prevented by personnel from the Western Prefecture of Carabineros.

Subsequently, under circumstances that remain unclarified, Máximo BERMUDEZ BALLON and his son Juan Rafael BERMUDEZ GAETE, who were unarmed, died as a result of gunshot wounds.

The Commission, having evaluated the information received, especially the testimonies of witnesses, has reached the conviction that Máximo and Juan Rafael Bermúdez are victims of political violence.

NOTE: The information was corrected in this interactive resource at the request of the family members, as there is a drafting error in the version of the National Commission for Truth and Reconciliation Report (Volume I, Tome 2, page 658).
