A private electronic music party in Puerto Colombia, Colombia, turned into a scene of horror this Monday, June 2nd, leaving three people dead and nine injured after armed assailants opened fire indiscriminately on attendees. The massacre, which unfolded at Finca Villa Olvega near the Papiros Toll Booth, has shocked the coastal municipality and ignited a major police investigation.
The event, promoted as “Talent Tryout Sunday,” was underway when four armed individuals on two motorcycles burst into the private cabin around 10 PM. Without warning, they began shooting into the crowd of partygoers, causing immediate panic and chaos.
Two victims, 25-year-old Luis Alfredo Vergara Julio and 19-year-old Ronaldo José Alarcón Castrilleros, died at the scene. A third victim, 25-year-old Maciel Karina Gómez, a DJ performing at the party, succumbed to her injuries at the nearby Portoazul Clinic while receiving medical attention. The nine injured individuals were also transported to the clinic, where most are reported to be out of danger.
Authorities are treating the incident as a targeted attack, with preliminary investigations suggesting a violent dispute between rival criminal gangs over drug trafficking routes and revenues. A key focus of the inquiry is Raúl Henao Farías, alias “Choco,” a presumed member of the criminal structure “Los Costeños,” who was among the injured. Some of the deceased and injured also reportedly had prior criminal records.
The Commander of the Barranquilla Metropolitan Police, General Edwin Urrego, confirmed the ongoing investigation, emphasizing the link to organized crime. The brutal nature of the attack has sent ripples of concern throughout the region.
