The investigation into the attack on Senator and presidential pre-candidate Miguel Uribe Turbay is intensifying, with a second suspect now formally implicated. The assault, which occurred seven days ago during a campaign event in Bogotá's Modelia neighborhood, saw Uribe Turbay struck by three bullets.
Initially, authorities believed the underage shooter acted alone, but collaborative efforts with the juvenile have yielded crucial breakthroughs. Key to these advancements was the review of security footage, which pinpointed two vehicles and a motorcycle as instrumental to the attack. The footage reveals the minor arriving in Modelia via motorcycle before entering a gray vehicle where he allegedly received the firearm and left personal belongings.
