  • The live broadcast captured the attack, including Sarmiento saying, "They shot me, they shot me," with blood visible on the floor, and featured a woman screaming for help.
  • On June 30, authorities arrested Pierina Uribarri, partner of alleged gunman Adrian Romero, charging her with intentional homicide, criminal association, and terrorism while issuing warrants for three others.
  • The case highlights the risks Venezuelan influencers face when denouncing organized crime amid rampant corruption and press restrictions, with investigations continuing under pressure to identify perpetrators.
