A man riding a motorcycle opened fire on a group of people playing football in a public field in the Belalcázar neighborhood of Medellín, resulting in one death and four injuries. The incident occurred around 5:40 PM on July 26, 2026, during a casual match at a field located on Calle 103EE and Carrera 63D. According to reports from the Medellín Security and Coexistence Information System (SISC), the victim was identified as Santiago Monroy Pizarro, 29 years old, who sustained seven gunshot wounds to his head and one to his hand.
