During the investigation, the authorities were able to establish that Juan Camilo was murdered after asking Carlos Alberto not to sell drugs in front of his house.
The events occurred on the night of Monday, March 4, when the victim was in his home in the Villa Carmelo settlement, north of the city, located in front of the field in that sector.
Around 10: pm on that tragic day, the deceased demanded that ‘Carlos’, as he was known at the time, not sell narcotic substances in the neighborhood. It is unknown how this claim was made.
“They argued for a couple of minutes with that young man, then he left the place, but a short time later he returned armed,” a friend of the victim told the authorities themselves.
Without saying a word, the 18-year-old shot Pabón Pinzón in the head.
The victim was left lying at the scene and was later taken by his loved ones to the Local Hospital del Norte. Once this happened, the gunman fled the scene in an unknown direction.
