Melbar Acricio Moreno Góngora died that day at 13:00 hours, at the Barros Luco Hospital, due to a gunshot wound with an exit wound in the left scapular region, as recorded in the Medical Death Certificate from the Legal Medical Institute.

According to statements from family members and witnesses, the events occurred while the victim was walking with a neighbor along Calle Alvaro Sánchez, inside the La Legua neighborhood. Upon reaching the corner of Avenida Jorge Cani, they heard shots coming from military personnel stationed at the corner of that street and Avenida Santa Rosa, prompting them to try to take cover.

However, Melbar Moreno was struck in the chest area by a projectile that exited through his back and subsequently—the same bullet—penetrated the woman's left arm. The wounded were taken to the Barros Luco Hospital, where the victim arrived without signs of life.

Considering the evidence gathered and the investigation conducted, the Superior Council of this Corporation, taking into account the circumstances, the time, the location, and the cause of death, declared Melbar Acricio Moreno Góngora a victim of the prevailing political violence.
