Overview

• The 15-year-old was ordered to serve seven years in a specialized juvenile care facility and will not be moved to an adult prison upon turning 18.
• Because charges could not be upgraded after Miguel Uribe Turbay’s death, the case proceeded as attempted murder and illegal weapons possession.
• The teen was arrested shortly after the June 7 shooting, admitted responsibility before a juvenile judge, apologized, and said he did not know the victim’s identity.
• Authorities say he acted as a hired gun; police previously detained alleged organizer José Arteaga Hernández, and officials identify Segunda Marquetalia as a probable sponsor under investigation.
• The sentence drew sharp criticism from the victim’s lawyer and allies, fueling calls to stiffen juvenile penalties and renewing scrutiny of security policy following other recent attacks.
