According to press reports, the youth, who was fond of sporting a "punk" look, had a reputation for loving animals, volunteering time to care for stray dogs, and was starting a curriculum to become a veterinarian orderly.
Last Saturday night, April 1, he would have spotted a street peddler who was about to beat a stray dog. Camilo couldn't take it and confronted the man, according to articles in the Chilean media.
Sadly, the street peddler, aged 33, had a criminal record for theft and for carrying a cutting and stabbing weapon, and stabbed Camilo in the abdomen and then took off.
The killing took place in Anibal Pinto square in the city of Valparaiso, Chile's main port.
As many foreign tourists notice, Chile is home to a large population of stray dogs, some of them posing a threat to passers-by.
The killer would have confessed to the killing and was indicted with murder. A court decided to send him to jail for 80 days, which is the period of time allocated to investigate the killing.
