In a devastating incident that unfolded after 10 p.m. on Saturday, the municipality of Malambo in the department of Atlántico was rocked by a ruthless massacre. Gunmen on a motorcycle targeted a residence in the Los Ciruelos neighborhood, leaving a trail of death and injuries.
The assailants, carrying out a sicarial attack, opened fire on the occupants of the dwelling. The aftermath of the violence claimed the lives of three individuals: Manuel Antonio Domínguez De Hoyos, a 16-year-old minor, Jefferson Jesús Chirino Vera, aged 24, and an unidentified adult male. The first two victims were rushed to the Campbell de Malambo, where their deaths were tragically confirmed. The third victim succumbed to the attack at the scene.
Amidst the chaos, two men and a woman sustained injuries during the onslaught. Identified as William Andrés Carrillo Montalvo, 29 years old, Juan Camilo Martínez Barreto, 18 years old, and María de Jesús Sandoval, they were promptly transported to the Campbell de Malambo for medical attention before being further referred to the Barranquilla headquarters.
Colonel César Sarabia, Deputy Commander of the Metropolitan Police of Barranquilla, announced a collaborative effort with the Municipality of Malambo to offer a reward of up to 30 million pesos. This reward aims to incentivize information leading to the capture of the individuals responsible for perpetrating this grave and violent incident in the Atlántico region.
As Malambo grapples with the aftermath of this shocking attack, community members and authorities are left seeking answers and justice for the lives senselessly lost in this tragic event.
