Witnesses said that the individuals arrived around 9:30 p.m., in the middle of the second half of the soccer match, and opened fire on the people who were stationed in front of the screen.
Let us remember that at the beginning of this month of January, Carrera 8, a fun area for inhabitants of the south of the city and the metropolitan area of Barranquilla, was the target of attacks, apparently related to extortion cases ordered by Ober Ricardo Martínez Gutiérrez, alias the Black Ober.
In the same way, the criminal attack occurred that took the life of Jheison Antonio Castro Comas, 27, who was a motorcycle taxi driver, inside a house in the same area.
General Jorge Urquijo, commander of the Metropolitan Police of Barranquilla, from the scene, he indicated that “Thanks to the cameras in the area we were able to establish that at least two people arrived shooting at the citizens who were watching a soccer game that was being broadcast.”
In addition, he confirmed that “There are four people who were also in the place and were injured and are being treated in care centers.”
Finally, the police chief pointed out that up to 80 million pesos were being offered for information on the perpetrators of the attack that killed the four people and injured four more.
