• At 8:30 on the night of January 18, Technical Sergeant Pedro Nolasco Jiménez and his wife, Professor Doris de Jiménez, were shot down by agents who were part of a mobile mayor, as they were traveling along the stretch of the San Antonio highway in the Gulf of Cariaco, in the state of Sucre.
• Not realizing the existence of this military unit posted on the road or hearing the voice out loud, the guards unloaded their machine guns on the vehicle.
• The army petty officer was instantly killed and his wife seriously injured. Both were returning to Maturín after having visited their families in that town.
• Pedro Nolasco was a Second Technical Sergeant, who belonged to the Transmission Command of the V Infantry Division.
• The Escape Act was de facto imposed by Rómulo Betancourt and continued to be applied, even more rigorously, in the years that followed Raúl Leoni.
• Two years earlier, on July 19, 1964, José Ramón Blanco and his son José Luis Román Credes were assassinated, when they did not listen to their voices out loud when they inadvertently passed in front of an alcabala parked in El Guapo, Miranda state.
• On December 2, 1960, Dr. Natalia Chinaglia was shot and killed when she could not hear her voice out loud when she was driving the El Pulpo dealer on the Eastern Highway.
• And so casuistics abounded in these bloody events that occurred as a result of the implementation of the Escape Law in Venezuela.
