On February 8, 1989, two carabineros officers died as a result of an attack carried out against them in the Quilicura commune. The carabineros are:

José Luis PIZZOLEO CANALES, 27 years old, Lieutenant and Chief of the Quilicura police station;

Leonardo Antonio MARILLANCA GARATE, 29 years old, 2nd Corporal assigned to the same station.

On the aforementioned day, in the morning hours, Lieutenant Pizzoleo and Corporal Marillanca were patrolling the area of Calle Carampangue in the Quilicura commune in an institutional jeep. When they proceeded to inspect three individuals who appeared suspicious to them, they were suddenly attacked by a fourth individual who had been hiding.

The other three also opened fire. Afterward, they stole the officer's service weapon and Corporal Marillanca's UZI submachine gun. As a consequence of the action, Lieutenant Pizzoleo died from craniocerebral, thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic trauma caused by a bullet, according to his death certificate.

Corporal Marillanca died due to facial, thoracic, and lumbar trauma, also as indicated in his respective certificate.

The evidence examined reveals that

The type of action deployed by the aggressor group corresponded to a modus operandi attributable to extremist armed groups that had political objectives. In this sense, the degree of audacity and coordination demonstrated by the attackers is significant, as is the fact that they stole the weaponry carried by the police officers.

The action was executed by surprise and while the officers were performing legitimate police patrol duties.

The Commission reached the conviction that Lieutenant José Pizzoleo and 2nd Corporal Leonardo Marillanca were victims of human rights violations by private individuals acting under political motives.
