"Death by commission or hired assassination has become the most common crime in the country,
but has varied since its inception in the decade of the nineties, when they were linked only to
drug trafficking cases whose style to be executed came from Mexico and Colombia.Actualmente
the hired killer is linked to the alleged revenge or the displacement of a criminal within a gang or
death on behalf of someone who is linked to law enforcement agencies and serve as an
informant, "said Commissioner Luis Godoy, former chief of the Division against Homicide of
the judicial police and current director of the Municipal Police of Chacao.
In 26 weeks of 2018 there have been 133 cases of murder by order, an average of 22 monthly,
which represented a 9.9% increase over the same period last year, when 121 cases were reported,
according to data collected by the Organized Crime Observatory, according to a press
monitoring. In 85 of the 133 cases, revenge was handled as a motive of the act.
Capital media reported on Friday, July 27, the homicide of a motorcycle rider named Edgar
Eduardo Graterol Ribas, 23 years old. The incident occurred in the Bruzual neighborhood, in the
upper part of El Valle. That day a man asked for a race and when he arrived at the site he was
shot in the head. Police sources indicated that it was a death for revenge, because the perpetrator
fled without taking the belongings or the bike of Graterol Ribas.
Two days later they murdered Luis Javier Durán Villa, 26 years old, on the outskirts of a local in
the Bolivar neighborhood in Petare. At 11:30 p.m., a man took Duran Villa by surprise and shot
him in the neck and back.
Finally, the report showed that in the states of Zulia, Táchira, Bolívar, Aragua, Trujillo and
Distrito Capital 66.2% of the cases reported from January to June of this year were registered
