The defendant allegedly attacked the victim with a firearm in the midst of an act of intolerance.
The Attorney General’s Office brought Andrés Camilo Sotelo Torres before a judge as the alleged person responsible for attacking Juan Felipe Rincón Morales with a firearm and causing his death on November 24 in Quiroga neighborhood, in Rafael Uribe Uribe area, in the south area of Bogotá.
In this sense, a prosecutor appointed to the Sectional Office in Bogotá charged him with aggravated intentional homicide; and manufacture, trafficking or possession of firearms or ammunition. He did not plead guilty to the charges.
The evidence obtained by a specialized team from the Technical Investigative Corps (Cuerpo Técnico de Investigación CTI) revealed that the victim arrived at the area and was intercepted by several people, among them Sotelo Torres, who during an argument and in an act of intolerance, apparently, shot him with a revolver.
The alleged aggressor was wounded in one of his legs, as a result of the reaction of the young man’s bodyguard. In the next few hours he will undergo surgery, so the judge suspended the hearing to issue a precautionary measure while the procedure is carried out and his recovery is guaranteed.
