Barranquilla: investigating whether the murder of a fisherman in Puerto Mocho would be linked to extortion or the theft of two motor boats

The police in Barranquilla are investigating the murder of fisherman Ángel David Rosas Martínez, who was killed in Puerto Mocho while returning from his fishing work. Two possible motives are being explored: potential extortion by members of the criminal group known as 'Los Pepes,' and a conflict arising from the theft of two boat engines that occurred months earlier. The victim had been displaced years ago due to violence in Santander and had since rebuilt his life in Puerto Mocho. His family expressed shock at the killing, emphasizing that he was not involved in any illegal activities and was simply trying to live peacefully. Authorities have confirmed that Rosas Martínez worked as a fisherman and ran a food business with one of his brothers.

Bias read (Center): The article presents both potential motives—extortion by a criminal group and a dispute over stolen boat engines—without taking a stance or using biased language. It includes quotes from the victim’s family and mentions ongoing investigations, maintaining neutrality.
