The Minister for Interior Relations, Justice and Peace, Diosdado Cabello, informed from the state of Zulia (northwest), where he is participating in the Bolivarian Shield 2025 Exercise, that the event took place at 07:30 local time on the Petare-Santa Lucia highway, Filas de Mariche, La Lagunita sector.

He specified in contact with Venezolana de Televisión that the delinquent perished “by arming an intelligence commission” of the Scientific, Criminal and Criminalistic Investigations Corps (Cicpc), in conjunction with State security and police agencies.

Cabello pointed out that Acevedo Monasterios was one of the people who has done the most damage to the community of Petare, Miranda State (north), where, he said, “there are countless murders and extortions that this gentleman carried out from terror against the inhabitants of the Sucre municipality and all of Caracas”.

He recalled the direct links of El Wilexis with the Venezuelan extreme right wing and asked where the guarimbas started in 2017, which “generated acts of violence in Petare, shootings, wounded, persecutions, and that was the order for the groups generating violence”, he added.
