Alí Domínguez
[6][7] At the time of his death he was the leader of the political group Movimiento Amplio Desafío de Todos, a Chavist faction that opposes Maduro,[6] and occasionally participated in anti-Maduro demonstrations.[5] Domínguez disappeared on 28 February 2019 in Caracas after attending a meeting for volunteers about bringing humanitarian aid into Venezuela,[6] and was found on the side of Francisco Fajardo Freeway on the morning of 1 March 2019.[citation needed] His family were not immediately informed, and had also been turned away by the police when trying to file a missing person's report; they were referred to intelligence services because of the political nature of the case due to Domínguez's positions.[6] Commenting on the murder, former United States Ambassador to Venezuela Charles Shapiro said that it was "repression" tactics, blaming the government because they "don't know what to do" whilst losing credibility.[8] Carlos Vecchio, the Venezuelan ambassador to the United States appointed by Juan Guaidó's government, said that they "deeply condemn the murder of the journalist Alí Domínguez" and congratulated him for recognizing Maduro's corruption and aligning himself with the opposition despite being chavista.
