After murders were discovered
After bodies were discovered, the Minister of Interior and Justice, Jesse Chacón, offered a statement almost at midnight to express his condolences to the family of the victims: "We deeply regret that, despite the efforts made by so many people, we could not avoid this abominable crime."[1]
The next day, students from the Andrés Bello Catholic University and the Central University of Venezuela blocked main roads. There were also protests in front of Monteávila University, the Metropolitan University and Francisco de Miranda Avenue; other roads collapsed by the protests were Baralt Avenue and Urdaneta Avenue, in front of the Ministry of Interior and Justice, where protesters demanded justice for the murder of the Faddoul brothers and Miguel Rivas.
Photographer Jorge Aguirre, of the Capriles Chain, was shot in the chest by an alleged motorized police force while covering the protest at the UCV.[7] In the afternoon, university students and residents of the Chacao Municipality gathered in Plaza Francia to hold a vigil for the murder of teenagers. An hour later they decided to move to the Francisco Fajardo highway to demonstrate, but the National Guard did not allow them.
Other cities in which there were protests were the cities of Valencia, Maracay, Puerto Ordaz, Lechería, San Cristóbal, Mérida and Porlamar, in which they demand the resignation of Jesse Chacón and the general prosecutor Isaías Rodríguez.[8]
