Miguel Uribe Turbay dies after rally shooting. His mother was kidnapped by Pablo Escobar and shot dead too
Colombian senator Miguel Uribe Turbay who had been hoping to become the country's next president has died in hospital two months after being shot at a campaign rally. He was shot in the head in a targeted attack which shocked the South American nation. Miguel Uribe Turbay, 39, was hit by three bullets two of them in the head and one in the leg - at a campaign rally on 7 June in the capital, Bogotá. A teenager has been arrested on suspicion of carrying out the shooting, but the motive behind the attack is still unclear. He was attending a political event in a middle-class neighbourhood of the capital when he was shot.

Check discounts expected from Walmart, Target Miguel Uribe Turbay's wife post is viral His wife confirmed his death on social media, paying tribute to "the love of my life". Uribe's wife, María Claudia Tarazona, thanked her late husband for "a life full of love" and for being "the best father" for their children. "Rest in peace, love of my life. I will take care of our children,' his wife, María Claudia Tarazona, wrote in a social media post confirming his death. 'I ask God to show me the way to learn to live without you" Miguel Uribe was shot three times, twice in the head, while giving a campaign speech in a park and had remained in an intensive care unit in serious condition with episodes of slight improvement. Last month Colombian officials named the attack's mastermind as Elder José Arteaga Hernández, known as who 'Chipi' or 'Costeño.' Live Events ALSO READ: Trump deploys National Guard in Washington DC, places it under direct federal control Miguel Uribe had announced his intention to run for president in 2026 and had become one of leftist president Gustavo Petro's strongest critics in congress. Uribe, a lawyer with a masters degree in public administration from Harvard University, entered politics as a councilman for Bogota when he was 26. In 2022, he was the biggest vote-getter in the conservative Democratic Center party led by former President Alvaro Uribe. According to a statement published on Saturday by the hospital where Uribe was being treated, the senator had suffered a bleed to his central nervous system and was due to undergo surgery. He had already had several surgeries since he was first taken to the Santa Fe clinic in June. His wife had asked people to pray for his recovery and thousands had turned out at vigils and rallies to show their support. ALSO READ: National Guard deployed in Washington DC amid capital crime crackdown: What is it and who can join them? Miguel Uribe's mother was also shot dead The brazen attack on the senator has brought back memories of the turbulent decades of the 1980s and 90s in Colombia, when several presidential candidates and influential Colombian figures were assassinated. Uribe's own mother, well-known journalist Diana Turbay , was among the victims of that period when she died during a police rescue after being kidnapped by a group of drug traffickers led by Escobar seeking to block their extradition to the United States. She was held hostage by them for five months before being shot dead during a botched rescue attempt. Diana Turbey founded and directed the news magazine Hoy x Hoy and was known for her sharp questions, deep empathy, and refusal to sensationalise violence, a rarity in Colombia's media at the time. On January 25, 1991, Diana, just 40, died from a gunshot wound during a botched rescue mission. She had been held hostage for nearly five months by operatives of the Medellin Cartel, Colombia's most feared criminal empire, run by Escobar. But her story, and the events leading to her death, began long before that tragic day.

'Justice out there': Indian-origin man Mahendra Patel, wrongfully accused of Walmart kidnapping attempt, cleared of charges in Georgia
Indian-origin Georgia man Mahendra Patel who spent 45 days in jail earlier this year has been cleared of all charges. 57-year-old Mahendra Patel , an Indian-origin, Georgia-based man, who spent 45 days in jail earlier this year, after a woman brought an attempted kidnapping accusation against him, has finally been cleared of all charges. Patel was arrested in March after Caroline Miller, a woman, alleged that Patel tried to kidnap her 2-year-old child when they were shopping at the Walmart Cobb Parkway. Patel was charged with criminal attempt to commit kidnapping, which was later amended to attempted kidnapping, along with simple assault and simple battery, accusing Patel of causing 'violent injury' by pulling on the child. Patel told the investigators that he held the child to stop him from falling and he exchanged a few words with the mother as well -- about where to find one particular medicine in the store. As Patel was spending days in jail, his attorney secured the surveillance footage of the incident that gained national attention as Patel's arrest was called a racial injustice. Contrary to the claims that Patel fled the store, the surveillance footage revealed that Patel paid for what he bought and exited the store without any rush. Hours later, Patel was arrested and he could not understand why he was being arrested and initially thought that they were arresting the wrong person. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Top Public Speaking Course for Children Planet Spark Book Now Undo An online petition calling for Patel's release drew nearly 100,000 signatures and Patel was released on bond after spending 45 days in jail. The Cobb County District Attorney's Office released a statement, saying the decision to drop Patel's charges came after a meeting between him and Miller, who expressed that they wanted to "put the incident behind them." The office further stated they are "pleased to have facilitated a resolution and are encouraged by the willingness of both parties to engage in a constructive dialogue." "It made me realize there's justice out there. There are good people," Patel said, adding that he will use his story as a lesson to be more vocal about those who are wrongfully jailed.
