On October 7, 1973, Pascual Antonio GUERRERO GUERRERO, age unknown, a miner with no known political affiliation, was killed in Andacollo by carabineros from that city.

The victim was detained along with 11 other people, accused, according to the official version published in the local press, of participating in a political meeting. The family denies this version and states that it was a family party.

According to the official statement from the Chief of the Plaza, published in the newspaper El Día de La Serena on October 8, 1973, Pascual Guerrero, while being led to the police station, "attempted to take a weapon from a carabineros officer.

Upon failing to do so, he fled. A warning shot was fired into the air to intimidate him; however, he did not stop, so he was killed at the scene of the incident."

The Commission concluded that in the reported case, a human rights violation occurred for which State agents were responsible, resulting in the execution of Pascual Guerrero. This conviction is based on the following elements:

-The rest of the individuals detained at the alleged political meeting were not subjected to legal proceedings, as would have occurred had the official version corresponded to reality; -It is not plausible that, in the case of individuals already arrested and disarmed by a detachment equipped with repressive elements and adequate police training, it would have been necessary to kill someone attempting to flee, even if that were true.
