SIJÍN agent murdered during operation in south Bogotá
A SIJÍN superintendent lost his life during a police operation in south Bogotá, according to reporting by Google News CO — Bogotá based on information from El Tiempo. The incident prompted an immediate reaction from the city's mayor, Carlos Fernando Galán.
Galán directly identified a "drug trafficking gang" as responsible for the crime committed during the operation. The mayor made a public statement about the murder of the uniformed officer, which occurred as members of the SIJÍN—the Judicial Investigation Section of the Police—were carrying out operational duties in the southern zone of the capital.
Authorities did not immediately specify the number of detained individuals or the exact details of the operation that resulted in the agent's death. The investigation into the incident fell to the competent units of the National Police and the Office of the Attorney General of the Nation.
The murder of an active member of the public security forces during a police operation highlights the presence of criminal organisations dedicated to trafficking in sectors of south Bogotá.
