Police commander assassinated in Cali

by Adriaan Alsema May 21, 2013

Police in Cali, Colombia’s third largest city, said Monday that unknown assassins had killed the chief of police of the nearby town of Bugalagrande.

The 39-year old lieutenant was fatally shot by a man on a motorcycle in the central Comuna 11 district.

Cali police commander General Fabio Alejandro Castañeda told press that his office offered a $5,400 reward for information leading to the perpetrator of the attack.

Bugalagrande is a town some 70 miles north of Cali and located in the heartland of drug cartel “Los Rastrojos” and its predecessor, the now-defunct Norte del Valle cartel.
