An Inpec official was killed on his way to work at the maximum security prison in Palogordo, Santander.

A police officer from Colombia's National Penitentiary Service (Inpec), named Efraín Quesada Urrego, was killed by a woman who fired multiple shots at him as he approached the maximum security prison in Palogordo, Santander. The attack occurred just before his shift began, with witnesses indicating the assailant had previously attacked him four times. Quesada, who had over 30 years of experience with Inpec, was responsible for security operations at the facility. His death comes amid ongoing threats against prison staff, including a recent grenade defusal and intimidation materials. Authorities have raised concerns about organized criminal structures within the prison, increasing the risk of attacks. This incident follows a similar attack on prison directors in April.
