Despite its name, Manuel Chávez (39) no was a man who stirred the passions of the masses, and was denied U.S. visa, or frighten the adecos, nor did he ever strike out Sammy Sosa with a fastball of 65 miles. It was a rather anonymous type, quiet and sedentary, raising her chivitos and traded with the cheese and meat from their animals there in the Paraguana peninsula. He lived exactly in a place called the Carmelites, located near Pueblo Nuevo, an hour of Punto Fijo. In other words, something close to the Dunes arid background while chuchubes immense cry of pain. About
Chávez property, which is not very large, other farming families live the same, grazing and the practice of contemplation. And there's enough to contemplate in these latitudes. There are also lands the Petit family members, the estate of these is called The Slab, and covers a more or less respectable, or at least larger than the others. Are there hard, which, without line of patriarchs nor the veins carry the blood of the pharaohs, they've managed to accumulate money, relations, an imposing presence. In addition, a fee of something like power without being exactly that, but the sight of plain and humble people of the Carmelite must seem huge.
One day in your very legitimate efforts to enlarge their domains, they bought a parcel adjacent to a gap in common public use, collective property that people had been accustomed to see and enjoy as a common good. That purchase, if an ordinary transaction, became the starting point for some struggles and claims of the most annoying.

Then Israel went into action. Went in search of a dear friend of Manuel, named Jose Luis Miranda, and made an invitation that Miranda could not refuse: go and find Manuel Chavez to kill him.
