A major breakthrough in the investigation into the shooting of presidential hopeful Miguel Uribe has been made with the arrest of a key suspect linked to the attack.
Colombia has apprehended Élder José Arteaga Hernandez, believed to be the orchestrator behind the assassination attempt on Senator Miguel Uribe during his rally in Bogotá last month. Uribe, who was targeted while campaigning for the 2026 presidential election, suffered critical injuries after being shot twice in the head. Arteaga, who reportedly encouraged a 15-year-old to execute the shooting, has been connected to previous criminal activities, including the use of minors for violent acts. Four additional arrests have been made, adding to the tension surrounding the political climate in Colombia. Uribe, from a prominent political lineage, remains in critical condition as questions linger about the motive behind the attack.
