The attack was attributed to members of the Front 36 of the FARC dissidents, who were demanding up to 1 million pesos per family to avoid further violence. Victims were unable to pay, leading to continued threats against merchants. In response, Governor Andrés Julián Rendón visited the area and accused the perpetrators of being linked to 'La Mona' or 'La Caucana,' offering a reward of $100 million for information leading to her capture.

Reports suggest 'Primo Gay' had transferred power to 'La Mona' after joining the Clan del Golfo, allegedly due to pressure and survival concerns.
