The stormy past of Flaco Jerson that would explain his murder in a rural area of Montería: he was extradited to the United States for links with drug trafficking

Jerson Enrique Camacho Cedeño, known as 'Flaco Jerson,' was assassinated in a rural area of Montería, along with his two armed bodyguards. The bodies of the guards were later found in different parts of Antioquia, showing signs of torture. Camacho Cedeño had a long history of involvement in organized crime, including ties to the 'Los Yiyos' hit squad in the 1990s, which operated for the Montoya faction of the Norte del Valle cartel. He was later linked to the Mexican cartel Los Zetas, where he allegedly helped recover a $200 million drug debt. Camacho Cedeño was extradited to the United States in 2011.
