On the night of Sunday, July 7, the Simón Bolívar neighborhood of the city of Barranquilla, Colombia, was the scene of an armed attack that left two people dead and two more injured. According to authorities, the main target of the attack was Adrián Jesús Escalante Delgado, alias 'Adriánpilot', 22 years old.
Escalante Delgado, who had a judicial record for homicide and was allegedly linked to the collection of extortion, was murdered along with Javier Miguel Liñán López, a 14-year-old minor who also lost his life in the incident.
The event took place at the 'Mango's Beers - Salsa y Verbena' establishment, where the victims were when an armed man entered and shot repeatedly.
