He was Juan Pablo Vargas, a driver who was killed by Venezuelans in northern Bogotá for stealing his car: his father broke the silence

A young man named Juan Pablo Vargas Becerra was killed by two Venezuelans in northern Bogotá after he was contacted through a ride-sharing app to drive them. The incident occurred during a trip from the city center to the north, where the perpetrators allegedly attacked him after he refused to steal his cousin’s car. His father, Don Pablo Vargas, who is a local bus driver from Belén, Boyacá, has spoken out about the tragedy, expressing confusion and anger over the brutal nature of the attack. Surveillance footage of the event went viral on social media and was later shared with the family, allowing them to witness their son's last moments.
