COColombian authorities, working with Peru's national police and the country's attorney general, dismantled a criminal organization known as 'Los Goteros' after three months of investigation. The group was linked to the murder of an American citizen, Eric Fernando Gutiérrez Molina, who was contacted through a dating app and lured into an encounter where he was drugged, robbed, and later killed by suffocation. The victims were primarily foreign nationals, especially members of the LGBTIQ+ community, targeted through dating apps. Two main suspects were captured in Peru and Colombia, while a third woman was arrested in Montería for handling illicit funds. The operation concluded the investigation into Gutiérrez’s killing, which occurred in March 2026 in Medellín.
