The hitmen entered firing around 30 shots they heard, but Jorge Luis Alfonso López is saved because his strategy was to occupy two rooms, and he hides in the bathroom of the other room. His bodyguards repel the attack but are left lying in the room-credit @JACOBOSOLANOC / X

On the morning of May 23, according to authorities, around thirteen armed men dressed in National Police uniforms and Inpec vests, carrying long-range weapons, broke into a clinic north of Barranquilla, supposedly with the intention of murder Jorge Luis Alfonso López, alias El Gatico, son of the deceased Enilce López. The action resulted in the death of two men and one injured person.

According to the Metropolitan Police of Barranquillathe attack occurred around 11:30 a.m. At least 30 shots were fired in an apparent failed attempt to kill The Cat, who took refuge in a nearby bathroom. Authorities suspect the enemies of both Alfonso López and his mother in what appears to be part of a war between criminal gangs on the coast. However, a new hypothesis emerged.

Edelmiro Anaya González, alias ‘El Chino’ Anaya’, 57 years old, former member of the AUC and killed for alleged attack against ‘EL Gatico’ in Barranquilla – social media credit

One of the victims was the bodyguard of The Cat and the other, Edelmiro Anaya González, alias El Chino, former member of the extinct Heroes of the Montes de María Block of the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (AUC)commanded by Rodrigo Mercado Pelufo, alias Cadena, who demobilized five years ago and had been convicted of the 2003 murder of the mayor of El Roble, Sucre, Eudaldo Titus Diaz Salgado.

His case is remembered in the country, since he himself had warned, in the middle of a community council with the then president Álvaro Uribe Vélez, that they wanted to kill him. Two months after this complaint, Díaz was kidnapped and murdered in April of that year.

The presence of The Chinese at the scene it was a surprise for the authorities. According to The Heraldthe former paramilitary was at the clinic to visit The Cat and it was not part of their security scheme. Edelmiro Anaya, 57 years old, and father of six children, had an extensive criminal record that included 23 notes, eleven convictions for crimes committed between 2003 and 2004 in Sincelejo and other municipalities in the department of Sucre. His background includes criminal acts such as conspiracy, homicide, false testimony, extortion, threats, among others.

On April 5, 2024 in the Las Gardenias sector of Barranquilla, hitmen attacked Edelmiro Anaya, however, the weapon jammed – credit social networks

Anaya had survived an attack in April 2024. This new fact generated the hypothesis that the main objective could have been The Chinese rather The Gatico. In the attack that also occurred in the capital of Atlántico, in the Las Gardenias urbanization, Anaya managed to survive when his attackers’ weapon jammed, allowing him to escape. For this attempted murder, Eber Manuel Pulgar and Leiber Enrique Acuña were captured, from whom an automatic firearm equipped with two suppliers, clothing with the logo of a well-known soft drink company and two cell phones were seized. The video of the exact moment in which one of the hitmen points at the man’s head was spread on social networks. The Chinesebut in effect, the firearm jams, preventing the crime from being committed.

This failed attempt and other previous attacks reinforce the theory that Anaya was the real target in the May 23 attack. Juan David Díaz, son of Eudaldo Díaz, commented that “for all this, do not rule out that the attack was directed at alias El Chino Anaya and not at Jorge Alfonso López and that he was betrayed by those he trusted, just as he did with my father”.

General Herbert Benavidez, commander of the Barranquilla Metropolitan Police, assured that “The information we have is that this person also has judicial notes and that he was the target of an attack in Las Gardenias, and this is of course part of the investigative process that is being carried out at this time.”
