Génesis was a college student studying tourism and in 2013 was named Venezuela’s Miss Tourism Carabobo. She was reportedly protesting against the government on Feb. 18, when the National Guard began shooting rubber bullets and unknown gunmen began firing rounds into the crowds from motorcycles. She was shot in the head and photographed laying limp in the arms of a man on a motorbike, on her way to the hospital. She was pronounced dead the following day at a local hospital.
