On January 28, 2020, after the match between Colo-Colo and Palestino, a police truck ran over Neco, killing him. The cop who was driving that day was sentenced only to a weekly signature and was placed under national protection, confirming once again the impunity and support that the institution has for murder and repression without major legal consequences.

Yesterday (January 28, 2025), a new commemoration was held in the neighborhood where el Neco lived, “El Beta”. Hundreds of friends, relatives and Colo-Colo fans came. The day was marked by threats and repression from the cops, who were seen early on arbitrarily arresting and detaining people who approached the area.

In the end, a bus was burned and people confronted the police, who harrassed the surroundings of the street where Neco lived.
