A/HRC/45/CRP.11 that no one was in the house. At about 7.40 a.m., she heard a shot coming from inside her relatives’ property and then saw the police officers who were standing outside the house firing a volley of shots. The police were shouting that there was a confrontation.2208 1236. At around 7.50 a.m., approximately 20 minutes after the police had taken C4FF11 and other family members away, a female neighbour heard a detonation, followed by a burst of gunfire that lasted about 15 seconds. The woman told a local news station six days later, “they sounded pa pa pa, say it was, keep saying it was a confrontation […]. I heard everything, I am a witness and I am a mother. And what they did to that child should not have been done”.2209 She added that the officers who fired the shots were in the alley and were aiming at the gate of C4FF24’s house.2210 1237. Within minutes of the shooting, slightly before 8 a.m., the neighbour saw some PNB officials carrying C4FF24’s body, partially covered by a bloodstained sheet, to one of the vans parked outside.2211 She saw that the teenager was wearing a grey-and-blue shirt and no shoes.2212 She also witnessed police officers who “just stood there and waited for a while, and then they just laughed like they’d killed a dog”.2213 The Mission had access to the testimony of several other witnesses who reported not having heard a request for help from inside the house. They also claimed to have seen the teenager’s lifeless body in the police car. 2214 1238. At 10 a.m., C4FF24’s family members were transferred from the PNB command in San Bernardino to PNB headquarters in El Valle parish, where they sat waiting in a PNB van, guarded by seven PNB officers.2215 At some stage, several relatives came looking for them there, having previously searched for them in different places. 2216 The teenager’s three family members were handcuffed at all times.2217 The officers would not let them out of the vehicle, not even to go to the bathroom. 1239. At 3 p.m. they were released and, at 4 p.m., C4FF11 and his female relatives were able to enter the house. C4FF24 was not there. They realized that several things had been stolen, including a tablet, speakers, a watch, clothes, perfume and food. There was no blood in the house because C4FF24’s half-sister, who had reached the house before their relatives were released, had already mopped the living room. C4FF24’s family found his body at the Leopoldo Manrique Tarrero hospital morgue, on the outskirts of Coche parish.2218 The Criminal Investigation 1240. C4FF24 was a teenager and father of a two-month-old girl at the time of his death. According to C4FF11, after the baby was born, he had dropped out of school and was working delivering cleaning products. 1241. The PNB identified C4FF24 as belonging to a criminal gang known as “El Chiva”. According to the PNB, he had a police record for theft from 12 October 2016. 2219 When the CICPC searched for this in the Integrated Police Investigation System (SIIPOL), they did not discover a police record.2220 The investigation into his death was conducted by different units of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, including the Thirty-Ninth and Sixty-Sixth Prosecutors’ Offices, as well as the Eighty-First Prosecutor’s Office for Human Rights. 2208 2209 2210 2211 2212 2213 2214 2215 2216 2217 2218 2219 2220 244 Ibid.
