11 September 1974,

Jon Urzelai was killed by the Civil Guard in Bilbao. On the occasion of a shooting of the day before at the border with Irún, the police began to register numerous houses in Bilbao and put controls in the peripheral neighborhoods. One of these controls started a shooting and a civilian guard was injured and would subsequently die. Urzelai was with his partner Andoni Campillo and ran the risk of going to another house, although he knew he was located. Urzelai entered the old house of Zorroza Shipyard Street, but inside they were waiting and killed shot. He was 26 years old.
