A Colombian senator and presidential hopeful died on Monday, two months after being seriously wounded in a shooting attack.
Miguel Uribe Turbay was shot three times, including two in the head, while giving a campaign speech in a park on June 7th. The 39-year-old had since remained in an intensive care unit at a hospital in the capital, Bogota and died on Monday.
A teenage suspect was arrested at the scene of the attack.
Authorities later detained several other people, but they haven't determined who ordered the hit or why.
The shooting was caught on multiple videos.
The pictures alarmed Colombians who haven't seen this kind of political violence against presidential candidates since Medellin drug lord Pablo Escobar declared war on the state in the 1990s.
