Overview

  • Two assailants on a motorcycle opened fire early Wednesday on a KIA Sportage driven by the judge on Horacio Nelson Street in the Costa Azul neighborhood, according to police reports.
  • Proceso reports she was injured, suffered a nervous crisis, and was taken to a private hospital in stable condition, while Milenio reports she was uninjured.
  • Her vehicle showed at least seven bullet impacts, including hits to the windshield on the driver’s side, and her child, who was with her, was reported unharmed.
  • Security forces from the Policía Investigadora Ministerial, Guardia Nacional, and municipal police secured the area, collected shell casings, and launched searches, but no arrests were reported.
