A man of approximately 45 years investigated for homicide surrendered voluntarily to police after escaping across rooftops during a search operation in Ibagué.
Óscar 'Chorizo' captured in Ibagué following operation in Combeima neighbourhood
Óscar, known by the alias 'Chorizo', surrendered voluntarily to the SIJÍN—Criminal Investigation Section of the Metropolitan Police of Ibagué—following an extensive operation in the Combeima neighbourhood, in the south of the city. According to reports from pulzo.com, based on information from local media El Nuevo Día, the procedure began in the early hours of Wednesday with a search of a residence where authorities believed the man was sheltering.
Upon noticing the police presence, 'Chorizo' reportedly escaped across the roof of the residence, which forced officers to continue their search across rooftops and adjoining properties. The operation generated a widespread police presence in the sector for several hours, and the neighbourhood community witnessed the operational deployment.
Investigated for homicide and alleged additional crimes
The Metropolitan Police state that alias 'Chorizo' is a man of approximately 45 years facing an investigation for homicide, the principal charge that had kept him as a priority target of local authorities. There are also reports of his possible involvement in drug trafficking and theft, although confirmed information is concentrated on the homicide case.
During the hours that the operation lasted, 'Chorizo's' father—identified by the alias 'El Pecoso'—remained for nearly three hours outside the searched residence, evidencing the tension that surrounded the procedure for both the family and the immediate surroundings.
Transfer to the Public Prosecutor's Office
Following his surrender, alias 'Chorizo' was transferred to police facilities and his presentation before the General Public Prosecutor's Office was expected to continue with the corresponding judicial process. The case reflects coordination between the Metropolitan Police of Ibagué and the SIJÍN in handling high-risk situations.
