On April 2, 1986, Simón YEVENES YEVENES, 42, was killed; he worked as a merchant and was a community leader for the Unión Demócrata Independiente (UDI) in San Joaquín.

At approximately 8:00 p.m. that day, while he was at his place of business located in Villa Brasil, Santiago, an individual entered and, using an automatic weapon, proceeded to shoot him from a very close range, causing craniocerebral and cervical trauma; he died at the scene of the incident.

Outside, there was another armed individual who was securing the escape from the location. The foregoing is confirmed by witness statements and information that appeared in the press.

It was established in the judicial proceedings that the perpetrators of the attack were members of the Frente Patriótico Manuel Rodríguez. This is based on the fact that the weapons used matched those later used in the assault on the Lautaro Bakery. Individuals have been convicted for these acts.

The Commission formed the conviction that Simón Yévenes was killed in a violation of his human rights by militants of the Frente Patriótico Manuel Rodríguez, who acted under political pretexts.
