On Sunday afternoon, Mileydis Aldana, 21, nicknamed ‘Owl Murderer,’ was assassinated by a motorcycle rider outside her home in the town of Corozal, Sucre county.Outside the entrance of her home in the Luis Carlos Galán area, two men on a motorcycle turned up. Then one of the men got off his motorcycle and shot her six times before she fled the scene.

Three bullets struck her, two in the left arm, two in the left leg, and one in the stomach, according to sources. She was rushed by family members to a local hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival.
