While Díaz González falls to the ground, the murderer does not stop and shoots again, this time in the head, with a second bullet to guarantee the fatality of his action.

The perpetrator, who has not yet been identified, was seen fleeing the scene on a motorcycle. Díaz González was immediately rescued and taken to the Campbell Clinic in Malambo, where he was declared dead upon arrival.
