Five people, including a pregnant woman, were assassinated in the city of Medellin Friday, local media reported.

The assassination of the two men and three women took place Friday evening in the north-western slum of Santander while the victims were driving through the neighborhood in a taxi.

According to witnesses, the taxi was attacked by men on two motorbikes.

According to local newspaper El Colombiano, the taxi driver survived the massacre.

The northwest of Medellin has seen several massacres this year already. In the city, local gangs, are involved in a territorial war between “Sebastian” and “Valenciano,” both former members of the “Oficina de Envigado,” a branch of demobilized paramilitary organization AUC.
