Description: This 5 page file deals with the shooting at the residence of Muñoz on July 14, 1978. The brevity of the file and the apparent absence of FBI investigation of the matter is probably explained by the fact that the shooting, as is presently known, was instigated by an undercover agent (Alejandro González Malavé) who was employed by the Intelligence Division of the Puerto Rican Police that worked closely with the bureau.

The file contains documents dated July 18, 1978.
