In the 110 days that have elapsed in 2022, 101 people have been killed in Cartagena. This means that almost every day of the year a citizen has died violently in the capital of Bolivar. For this reason, citizens are asking the District to take concrete action to end this scourge that is affecting everyone in the 'Heroica'.
The overseer calls on the authorities to ensure citizen security in the capital of Bolívar, “Today safeguarding life in Cartagena is increasingly difficult and crime is increasingly organized and armed. No sector is saved anymore, no area of the city is safer than another. Criminals circumvent all kinds of security systems, enter establishments, move freely along beaches, downtown, avenues and all neighborhoods,” said Schorbocht.
In addition, he added that, in broad daylight and in the most exclusive sectors, crime is shown to be on the loose, armed and without any control. Nothing stops them, they move on foot, by motorcycle and car.
On April 20, the mayor of Cartagena, William Dau, appointed Paola Pianeta to property as Secretary of the Interior, a position she had been holding as manager.
Alvaro Schorbocht sent a message to the Ministry of the Interior, “We urgently call on you to continue to issue permits for dance events that not only cause more insecurity, but higher rates of intolerance and harm in many communities.”
Authorities detail that most murders occurred during the first month of the year. From January 1 to 31, 35 homicides were recorded, of which 18 cases were from assassinations, 15 were for quarrels, one for robbery and the other for an alleged lynching. This season was the most violent of the last eight years in Cartagena.
The list also reports 24 murders in February, of which 13 cases were in assassinations, 9 in quarrels and the remaining in circumstances to be clarified. In March, there were 31 murders, 23 of them in assassinations, six in quarrels and one in robbery. The rest of the cases occurred in the first two weeks of April.
The Metropolitan Police confirmed that of the 54 cases of hit men reported in 2022, 39 are related to the Gaitanista Self-Defense Forces of Colombia, also known as the Gulf Clan, and the GDO Los Robledos, a gang that arrived from Medellín at the end of last year. These groups are contesting the territory in order to collect criminal income from microtrafficking.
On the other hand, it was indicated that 36 homicides “have been caused by social intolerance (quarrels, domestic violence, among others)”.
The Bolívar Sectional Prosecutor's Office assured that of the 106 reported homicides, 42.61% have been clarified. This advance has meant the capture of 55 suspected killers, 30 of them in flagrante and 25 by court order. 243 firearms and more than 5,500 sharps have also been seized. It was also concluded that several cases of hit men were ordered by alias 'Paty Paty', head of the Gulf Clan in Cartagena, and by two other subjects known as 'Marrana Gorda' and 'Colorado'.
