Luis Alberto Soto Medina died that day at 4:00 hours, on Calle Nueva Cinco in front of number 1640, due to a thoracic gunshot wound, as certified by the Medical Death Certificate from the Legal Medical Institute. According to the Autopsy Report, the wound was without an exit projectile.

According to statements from witnesses and family members, in the early hours of April 19, Luis Soto was working as a doorman at a party held at the Sede Social in the Mirador Viejo neighborhood of Renca.

Around 4:00 hours, a fight broke out involving carabineros and off-duty military personnel. Two of the police officers drew their weapons and fired shots, wounding, among others, an Ejército conscript. Luis Alberto Soto was struck by one of the bullets, which, according to the corresponding ballistic expert report, was fired from the weapon of one of the carabineros.

Considering the gathered evidence, the Superior Council concluded that the death of Luis Alberto Soto Medina was due to the abuse of power by a State agent, who acted outside the scope of his duties and without being duly sanctioned. Therefore, it declared him a victim of human rights violations.
