In the recording one can hear the screams of a woman calling for help while Sarmiento asks for help to Sebin intelligence officers and repeats the address of the house: 'El Piñonal, JJ Montesinos street', he says over and over again. Then a burst of gunfire sounds, the armed men appear in front of the camera and shoot twice at the young man. The transmission is cut off.
