Just a shot in the chest was enough for a 16-year old to see his final days on this earth. Pedro Emilio Coll was walking home, near his high school in the Caracas municipality of Coche. Nobody saw anything, they only heard the gunshots and saw the body of the 16-year old boy on the ground. Some acquaintances approached his home and his father, mother and brothers confirmed that it was Pedro in a scene full of pain and tragedy, captured by photographer César Suárez. It is not an isolated case, every day the same thing happens in neighborhoods and residential areas throughout the metropolitan area. Everyone complains about low police presence and some blame the police as being complicit in the crimes. Source: Diario 2001
