19th April 2026
At least four people were killed in a violent incident on April 19 in the municipality of El Zulia, Norte de Santander department. According to preliminary reports, armed men entered a billiards hall and opened fire on two individuals who refused to allow an "inspection" of their mobile phones. The attackers then moved to another location in the La Ye de Astilleros subdistrict (corregimiento), where they executed two more people. The attacks caused panic among local residents. Authorities attribute the multiple homicide to dissidents of the former FARC guerrilla group operating in the region. Police and forensic teams arrived at the scenes to recover the bodies and launch an investigation to determine the exact motives. The community remains on high alert amid the ongoing wave of violence in the area.
