16 wound, but the pressure of the blood flow was so strong that she knew he was going to die. With the death of her companion, the witness lost all her hopes, her life project of developing a family, and she suffers depression. The suffering is intact, for her and for the mother of the victim, who also witnessed what happened. The witness was nineteen at the time of the event, and since then she has had to be both mother and father of her daughter. She still suffers due to impunity regarding the facts. 17. Dilia Mendoza de Ramos, the mother of Yurima Milagros Ramos Mendoza. Yurima Milagros Ramos Mendoza died when she was twenty years old. She was the second daughter of the witness, and she studied human resources management at Fermín Toro de Barquisimeto University. She was very studious and had many aspirations. She was single, had no children, and did not work. The financial situation of the family would have improved very much if she were alive, because she was very close to her family and showed great solidarity. Once she graduated, the victim wanted to help her parents with money, travel, and give her father a pick-up truck. The family covered expenses in connection with the vigil, and COFAVIC covered expenses in pursuit of justice. She saw how her daughter bled to death in their very home, with her face mangled because the bullet hit her in the head. The family had to spend several hours next to their dead daughter because they could not leave the house due to the curfew. A neighbor, who worked for the government, helped them get a detail of the Technical Corps of the Judiciary Police to come, and they placed the victim in a plastic bag. The witness has attended roughly five psychological treatment sessions. Due to the event, the family is in very bad shape, although they have found some consolation by sharing their experience with the next of kin of other victims, at COFAVIC. The mother has found some “spiritual comfort” but she felt that her life had ended with the death of her daughter, However, she has continued to suffer insomnia to date. Since then, she has been seeking ways to get her mind off that event; she works at home until dawn cleaning windows to avoid thinking about what happened. She feels unprotected and bitter. The father of the victim, Héctor Ramos, feels the same but suffers in silence. The hope of attaining justice has been a determining reason to continue. 18. Deisy Crespo, the wife of Iván Rey.

Since they married, two years before, he supported the household. At the time of the event he earned minimum wage. She covered expenses in connection with the vigil from the savings they had. COFAVIC covered expenses regarding the pursuit of justice.
