In a heart-wrenching incident that has shocked the Aguachica community in Colombia, a shooting claimed the lives of a prominent evangelical family, known as the Lora Rincón family. The attack occurred on January 3, 2025, when masked gunmen confronted the family in their vehicle, leading to their tragic end. Eyewitness accounts and social media videos have emerged, detailing the harrowing events of that day.
A young woman who narrowly escaped the incident spoke about her ordeal, stating, “We were unaware of what was happening until we heard the shots. It was a scene of chaos. We never expected that something so dreadful would happen here.”
The victims of the shooting include three members of the Lora Rincón family: Pastor Lora, his wife, and their daughter. It was reported that the assailants had mistaken their target, potentially aiming for a criminal figure known as alias ‘La Diabla.’ Police are investigating the motives behind the attack and the individuals involved.
In conjunction with the investigation, authorities have released a video capturing the moment of the shooting, which has led to public outrage and calls for enhanced security measures within the community. Security analysts suggest this incident reflects the ongoing issues of violence in Colombian cities, where criminal organizations are known to clash violently.
In response to the incident, local police chief Juan Carlos Vega commented, “We will not rest until justice is served for the Lora Rincón family. We are intensifying our patrols in the area and are in communication with witnesses to gather more information.”
The family was well-known within the evangelical community, contributing greatly to local faith-based initiatives. Their untimely deaths have left a significant void in the Aguachica community, where they were seen as pillars of support and hope. As investigations continue, the community grapples with the grief and shock stemming from this tragic event.
