Defeating the Batista dictatorship was the main objective of the assault. At approximately three o'clock in the afternoon on March 13, 1957, a truck parked in the cul-de-sac that begins where streets 21 and 24 converge, in Vedado. From the neighboring building, two by two, a group of young people descended the stairs and entered the vehicle. Others, led by Carlos Gutiérrez Menoyo and Faure Chomón, headed towards the cars parked in the area. The convoy headed for 21 and after turning onto 26th street, continued on 17.
