On November 11, 1985, Santiago Armando TRINCADO ROJAS, 32 years old, a 2nd Corporal of the Carabineros, passed away.

On the day in question, at approximately 10:00 p.m., while he was on Calle Roberto del Río in the Comuna of Providencia, guarding the residences of high-ranking officers of the institution as a fixed post, he was the victim of an attack perpetrated by two individuals who shot him at close range, causing his death at the scene.

The perpetrators stole the police officer's weapon and fled in a pickup truck that was waiting for them. A fellow officer serving with the victim was also wounded.

Considering that the action occurred by surprise, preventing any defense by the officer, and that the attackers stole the service weapon following the act, this Commission reached the conviction that 2nd Corporal Santiago Trincado was the victim of a violation of his right to life, committed by private individuals acting under political pretexts.
