Limcy Zulmira De Moya Villanueva was walking accompanied by acquaintances, after leaving a carnival party, when she was approached by a criminal who swore at her and almost immediately shot her in the head, ending the woman’s life.
Such an action took place on Sunday, January 21 between 12:30 and 12:50 in the morning on Carrera 37B with Calle 27C, sector of the El Río de Soledad urbanization.
After the attack, the criminal ran away and later got on a motorcycle driven by an accomplice.
Although the woman’s companions told the officers of the Barranquilla Metropolitan Police who came to handle the case that everything was the result of an “altercation”, behind this criminal attack was a story of jealousy towards the alleged couple. years old, identified as Breiner Josué Castro Vélez, alias ‘Mono Cachete’, an alleged hitman for ‘los Costeños’ and who has been in prison since October last year for a double murder in the Carrizal neighborhood, in the south of the region city .
It was precisely from the prison of the El Bosque district that the order came out to shoot the woman, since, according to the version known to EL HERALDO and which is hardly the subject of investigation by the Atlantic division of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, the victim died several times on Saturday received threatening WhatsApp messages from Castro Vélez, apparently because he had not been on a conjugal visit.
On the other hand, the Metropolitan Police, through the Sijín Homicide Investigation Group, monitors video cameras on site and in surrounding areas to try to determine the identity of the perpetrator of the murder.
Limcy Zulmira is the fifth woman to die violently in the Atlántico department in January and her case is believed to be the first femicide of 2024.
It should be noted that the last victim was Katty Del Carmen Vásquez Caballero, 38 years old, shot during events that took place on the night of Monday, January 15 in the Mundo Feliz sector, in the municipality of Galapa.
