Besides to the body, two 9 mm cartridge casings were found.” Said gun was not found to be registered in the digital files and “its illegal possession and bearing is inferred”. As stated by the ballistic expert, “the two cartridge casings were fired by said gun, and gunpowder residue was found in the bore of the barrel.”251 162. In relation to the events that took place the evening of September 3, 1999, Mr. Ángel María Noriega Gómez stated that he was with “Benigno Birueth, another Octavio García” and “Mrs. Leonor Gómez and Arladys”252 and “approximately at 10pm”, “he was sitting in a shop in the Versalles neighborhood” when he saw three men in bicycles and behind them two white Army trucks “three and a half.” He said that he observed the military “shot a warning to the air and because of that one of the three men, the one in the front, threw the bicycle to the side and stood with his arms up, so did the other two. He stated that then “the Army trucks stopped and unloaded, seized the men and someone who was with him said that one of them was beaten there as well, they made them get into the truck carrying their bicycles on it.” 253 163. Mr. Ángel María Noriega Gómez said that when “two soldiers approached the shop where they were sitting; he asked one of them, what is the scandal? He said that the soldier “did not want to answer,” “he turned around and went to where he was being awaited to continue their way.” He said that later the “truck passed by the side of the store” and he realized that it was carrying “two uniformed men with black face masks.” He said that there were two White trucks when the young men were detained, one stayed there with them and the other left.”254 164. Mr. Ángel Noriega clarified that he observed the “three youth climbing into the army truck” but he “did not recognize them.”255 He added “I am not saying that they are the same ones, only because of the circumstances around the disappearance of the three young men, when they went out…that they were riding bicycles, and the circumstances…I deducted…that perhaps they were the same than hopped into the truck.”256 165. In relation to this event, Mrs. Deysi Porras Ramírez noted that when she was “arriving at the store” saw “a fast coming army truck, that was coming as chasing some youth that were riding bicycles and the car was going towards them, even throwing one or two of them to the floor”. She stated that she went back to her house and when she arrived the army truck “went by the entire front”. She pointed out that there were about “two or three masked men in the truck” and that happened “between 9:30 or earlier than 10pm, and the young men were barely seen as they were lying on the floor there.”257 251 The narrative accompanying this evidence is in: Annex. 81. 15th Office of the Military Criminal Prosecutor before the Second Court of Second Division Brigades, investigation proceeding review, October 24, 2003.
