The images show that the offender was chased by another driver who would have witnessed the attempted robbery and during the chase he caused the freighter to lose control of the motorcycle and fall.

Another citizen who was passing by the site confronted the already unarmed subject; Seconds later, the taxi driver appears who got out of the vehicle with the firearm in the hand of the alleged criminal and shot him at close range.

Later, the taxi driver boards his vehicle again and leaves the scene while the criminal, who has not yet been identified, lay dying on a sidewalk in the sector.

"Immediately our quadrants, the reaction of the institutions, the recording of the monitoring cameras, allowed us to locate a taxi, from where they fired," said Rafael Otalora, Secretary of Security of Itagüí.

After the investigative work, the authorities captured the suspect of being responsible for the death of the alleged freighter, who was made available to the Attorney General's Office.
