Unknown gunmen assassinated a former congressman and alleged attorney of drug cartel Los Rastrojos in southwest Colombia on Wednesday.
Moises Orozco, a controversial former president of the House of Representatives, died in hospital hours after two gunmen on a motorcycle shot him four times on Wednesday morning near Yumbo, a city in the southwestern Valle del Cauca province.
The politician’s bodyguards, who were following him in a van, returned fire before giving the politician first aid as emergency services arrived on the scene, according to reports.
Following the attack, Orozco was transferred to a Yumbo hospital, but due to the complexity of the wounds he was referred to the province capital Cali, where he died hours later.
