      Chávez Durán was reportedly running an errand at 10pm on January 1 amid dramatic street clashes over the arrest of the governor of Santa Cruz. Daily protests involved police/protester battles with fireworks and teargas, as well as significant arson. « woborders.blog/2022/12/31/camacho-fiery-protest/

        Durán's death marks the first killing of protester by Bolivian security forces since 2019, and under President Luis Arce, though a prisoner died of mistreatment in 2022. It had been 1,148 since the Senkata masacre. woborders.blog/2023/01/08/fifteen-killed-2022/

          A formal cause of death has not yet be released according to La Razón's reporting, but unofficially the news is a coronary cause. Both the injury and the surgeries pursuant to it could have contributed. la-razon.com/nacional/2023/01/13/fallece-la-persona-que-perdio-un-ojo-tras-enfrentamientos-del-1-de-enero-en-santa-cruz/ «

            Erbol reports that Erwin Chávez Durán was struck by a tear-gas canister, according to the detailed account of his spouse. The Defensoría del Pueblo, an official human rights ombudsman, has demanded information from the police. erbol.com.bo/seguridad/la-defensor%C3%ADa-indaga-deceso-de-una-persona-en-medio-de-conflictos-en-santa-cruz-y-pide

              Tear-gas canisters have caused 8 prior deaths in Bolivia since 1986. Nine more have died from tear gas inhalation and its sequelae. This munition is used consistently in a "non-lethal" manner by Bolivian security forces.
