Aristides was implicated in the homicide through the testimony of a former member of the AUC‘s Central Bolivar Bloc, Mario Jaimes Mejia, alias “El Panadero.”

El Panadero stated that Aristides instigated the assassination of David Nuñez on April 5, 1991, who at the time was working for the municipality of Barrancabermeja and was running for mayor of the city in the Santander department.

An arrest warrent for Aristides was issued in February though his whereabouts remains unknown.
