Anti-Chavez Protests In Carabobo Leave One Dead And Three Injured

José Aníbal Oliveros Yépez, 19, was killed Monday morning in Guacara, Carabobo, after being shot three times by anti-Chavez demonstrators who were protesting in the street against the constitutional reform.

The information comes from General Cliver Alcalá Cordones commander of the 41st Armored Brigade and the Military Garrison of Valencia. He stated that from "about 2:00 in the morning, these groups set up in different places around town with the intention of creating chaos."

In these acts, 3 others were injured by firearms and by blasts from explosives in the Ciudad Alianza community of Guacara.

The General indicated that 'four individuals suspected of being involved in the death of Olivero Yépez were detained.'

He explained that the victim was in a truck of the socialist company Petrocasa, where he worked. When he tried to convince demonstrators to let his truck through so he could continue with work, he was shot twice in the back and once in the forearm.
