On June 7, 2025, Colombian politician Miguel Uribe Turbay was shot during a rally, creating shock across the nation. A 14-year-old suspect approached Uribe and fired multiple shots, resulting in a serious injury. The young assailant, described as having a conflictive personality and coming from a troubled background, was apprehended after a brief pursuit. Authorities suspect he is linked to broader criminal networks and are investigating other individuals involved in the assassination attempt, which raises significant concerns about youth involvement in political violence.
The suspect's background is troubling; living in a low-income neighborhood, and with limited family support, he has been described as having a conflictive personality.
This assassination attempt on Miguel Uribe Turbay not only highlights issues of political violence but also the troubling involvement of minors in organized crime.
Authorities are now focusing on uncovering the broader network behind the attack, with the arrested 14-year-old believed to be just one part of a larger plot.
Attorney General Luz Adriana Camargo emphasized that while the young man is the immediate perpetrator, there are other layers to investigate concerning this serious crime.
