What happened to coyotito in chapter one of the pearl?

AnswerThe trackers hear the cry and think it's a coyote so they fire a shot thinking it will shut the animal up. The shot did in fact hit Coyotito! (by blind luck)"Kino was in mid-leap when the gun crashed and the barrel-flash made a picture on his eyes.\Kino (mid-leap) then follows to kill all 3 trackers("the great kinfe swung and crunched hollowly"), ("He whirled and struck the head of the seated man like a melon"). Then ("the third man scrabbled away like a crab, slipped into the pool..."), then Kino shoots him once ("He saw HIS ENEMY tumble backward into the pool, and Kino strode to the water. In the mooklight he could see the frantic frightened eyes, and Kino aimed and fired (at the last MAN) between the eyes.")"And then Kino's brain cleared from its red concentration and he knew the sound-the keening, moaning, rising hysterical cry from the little cave in the side of the stone mountain, the cry of death(because Coyotito had been shot by the tracker)."
