Journalist Robert Posada is one of the most visible victims of the wave of violence in Tuluá. The violence was carried out by members of the La Inmaculada gang as retaliation for the capture of one of its leaders.
Authorities arrested four people, including two young people, ages 14 and 17. One of them said that they were promised payments of 400,000 pesos (100 dollars) for each homicide and 140,000 Pesos (35 dollars) per burned car.
