On the other hand, a person close to the family informed the authorities of the identity of the murderers when he found out that they were offering a reward for people who gave information related to those responsible. “I saw this reward and I was outraged, because I knew who the murderers were and I told the authorities, that’s why I dared to publish the faces of those responsible on social networks, but all this unleashed more misfortune.”

The criminals threatened to throw grenades at the homes of relatives or threatened relatives of the family to end their lives.

Faced with threats, the family decided to ask the authorities for protection, but they never came.

“On Thursday I told them to please send a patrol to the house because we were not sure, I begged them until 7:30 pm but they did not want to give me an answer, at 9:30 pm that day my sister came home- in the Olaya Herrera neighborhood- and when she was getting off the motorcycle, three men dressed in black arrived and killed her. More than 16 shots were fired that killed Ingrid, even though we ran with her to the hospital, we were not able to save her life.
