On June 15, 1813, Antonio Nicolás Briceño, a prominent colonel lawyer and hero of Independence, better known as “The Devil”, was shot by the royalists in the city of Barinas.
He was one of the protagonists of July 5, 1811, when he signed the Act of Independence. He became one of Generalissimo Francisco de Miranda's trusted men.
The Capitulation of 1812 led him to exile, but in 1813 he devised a plan from Cartagena, Colombia, a kind of "War to the Death Proclamation”.
After his shooting, he was promoted to the rank of post-mortem General.
