The Colombian Senator died two months after he was shot

The Colombian Senator and President Miguel Urby died two months after they were shot in his head in a targeted attack that shocked the South American nation.

The 39 -year -old hit three bullets – two of them in the head and one in the leg – at a campaign on June 7 in the capital, Bogota.

His wife confirmed his death on social media, and he praised “the love of my life.”

A teenager was arrested on suspicion of shooting, but the motivation behind the attack is still unclear.

Ourby’s wife, Maria Claudia Tarazona, thanked her late husband for a “life full of love” and being a “best father” for their children.

According to a statement published on Saturday by the hospital, where Urby was treated, Senator suffered from bleeding in his central nervous system and was due to surgery.

He had already had many surgeries since he first transferred to Santa Clinic in June.

His wife had asked people to pray for his recovery, and thousands of vigils and gatherings went to show their support.

Orepe, who was Senator since 2022, was looking for his party’s nomination for the 2026 presidential elections.

He was attending a political event in a middle -class neighborhood in the capital when he was shot.

A teenage suspect was arrested as he turns away from the scene. The 15 -year -old was accused of trying to kill and admitted that he was not guilty.

Many others were arrested on suspicion of helping the gunman.

The rude attack on Senator re -memories of the turbulent contracts in the 1980s and 1990s in Colombia, when many presidential candidates and influential Colombian personalities were assassinated.

The mother of Uriani, journalist Diana Turai, was kidnapped by Los Sequables in 1990 – a coalition created by leading drug princes.

She was detained for five months before she collided with bullets during a failed rescue attempt.

Urby is often cited as an inspiration for him to run for the political position “to work for our country.”

Los Attraditables, who said they prefer a grave in Colombia over the prison cell in the United States, kidnapped and attacked the famous Colombians in an attempt to force the government at that time to cancel its delivery treaty with the United States.
