Investigation of the attack in Colombia points out six suspects
Six individuals are arrested for alleged involvement with the attack against Uribe Turbay. Among them is the material author of the crime, a 15 -year -old detained in the act with the gun used in the attack.
The country’s prosecutor also linked five other adults accused of participating in the planning and cover -up of the attack, such as Elder José Arteaga Hernández, known as ‘El Costeño’. According to the authorities, he would be the alleged coordinator of the attack.
At the end of July, a 17 -year -old who reportedly attended the attack planning meetings fled the state -owned protection center for minors where he remained in custody.

I ordered the Armed Forces, the police and the intelligence bodies to mobilize all their resources to urgently clarify the facts,” said Sánchez, at X.
