Overview

• An adolescent who admitted firing on Miguel Uribe Turbay at a June 7 rally in western Bogotá was ordered to serve seven years in a specialized youth detention center.
• The teen was adjudicated for attempted homicide and illegal gun possession under Colombia’s juvenile system, which caps penalties and does not allow charge upgrades once admitted by a minor.
• Prosecutors say the youth was driven to the scene by Carlos Eduardo Mora González, received a 9mm Glock from Elder José Arteaga Hernández, shot Uribe Turbay in the back at El Golfito park, and was captured while fleeing.
• Authorities report six suspects are in custody and are pursuing the intellectual authors, with the Segunda Marquetalia dissidence identified by officials as the principal line of inquiry.
• Miguel Uribe Londoño launched a bid for the Centro Democrático nomination centered on security, joining an internal field that will narrow to one candidate later this year for a broader right‑wing consultation in March 2026.
