Two women murdered on public road in Arborizadora Baja; Police analyse camera footage
Bogotá authorities are investigating the murder of two women whose bodies were found on a public road in the Arborizadora Baja sector, in the Ciudad Bolívar locality, south of the capital. According to pulzo.com, the victims were aged between 33 and 45 and presented gunshot wounds.
The discovery triggered immediate alarm among residents of the sector. Police units cordoned off the area to preserve the crime scene and allow investigators to inspect the bodies. During initial proceedings, physical evidence material was collected which, according to the Police, will be key to clarifying what happened.
Review of camera footage and tracing movements
Judicial Police are focusing part of the investigation on analysing security camera recordings installed in the surroundings of the site. The aim is to establish how the women arrived at the location, whether they were accompanied and who could be linked to the attack.
The authorities are also verifying whether the victims lived in Arborizadora Baja or came from other parts of the city. At present, their full identity has not been confirmed. There are no arrests, no possible motives for the double homicide have been revealed and the authorities have not commented on the relationship that might exist between the two women or on the exact location where the attack took place.
Context: Bogotá records 545 homicides in the first half of 2026
This crime is part of a trend the city is struggling with. Bogotá recorded 545 homicides in the first half of 2026, a reduction of 7.3 per cent compared to the same period in 2025, when 588 murders were reported.
However, according to data from Bogotá Cómo Vamos, this first half is the third with the most homicides since 2019, surpassed only by 2021 and 2025. The figure shows that, despite recent progress, the city is still far from reaching a single-digit homicide rate.
