Authorities Are Investigating The Murder Of A Police Chief

According to Brigadier William Castaño, acting commander of the Metropolitan Police, the officer was on leave and was shot, apparently in the midst of an act of intolerance outside a commercial establishment.

"A discussion that apparently took place inside the establishment and when the mayor, who was on his break, was leaving the place, this person approached him, continuing the discussion, and that is when he was confronted with a weapon and hit him, causing his death," he said.

Likewise, the brigadier pointed out that the authorities identified the suspect and are working together with the Attorney General's Office to issue the corresponding arrest warrant.

"We invite this person, known as alias 'Fausto', to immediately turn himself in to the authorities because, in one way or another, he has already been fully identified," added Brigadier Castaño.

On the other hand, according to witnesses of the event, they indicated that the discussion apparently began "over a few glances" inside the establishment and intensified outside, culminating in the tragic outcome.

So far, the Metropolitan Police of Cali continues to investigate the case to bring the person responsible to justice.

"This unfortunate event has left a deep wound in the community and in the police force, which today mourns the loss of one of its members," concluded the acting commander of the Metropolitan Police of Cali.
