This Sunday, there will be a sit-in in her memory at the site where a young man who tried to deprive her of her belongings shot her.

The Court issued an arrest warrant, despite the fact that the detainee did not accept charges.

Natalia Cortés, who turned 20 last weekend, was studying digital audiovisual media production at the National Learning Service (Sena). He was advancing his professional practice in a foundation dedicated to the health of children. Her dream was to become a psychologist.

At 5:40 in the morning, he left his house in the Los Lagos neighborhood, precisely, to complete his practice. Her mother accompanied her on a three-block journey to find a bus that would take her from the east to the south of the capital of Valle del Cauca.

When they arrived in the neighborhood of the Ricardo Balcázar neighborhood, a young man took Natalia from behind and told her to hand over what she was carrying. “Not my little girl,” said the mother.

In her suitcase, Natalia carried a laptop and her lunch. The assailant, in a couple of seconds, raised the gun and fired.

The student fell from a gunshot wound to the head. Relatives and neighbors arrived at the site. They took her to the Carlos Holmes Trujillo hospital, from where she was immediately referred to the Valle del Lili clinic. A few hours later, she was pronounced dead.

Her relatives made the will to donate organs, as she had expressed it if one day it was missing, to save and help the lives of other people.

Citizen support allowed the Police to reach some apartments neighboring the Los Lagos neighborhood, where they held a young man who appears as the alleged aggressor and was taken before a Guarantees Control court. The 26-year-old captured has no criminal record.

Faced with a possible error in the identity of the detainee and one of the lawyers, the process was prolonged and the 36-hour terms expired without legalizing the capture, so he was released.

The Prosecutor’s Office adjusted the procedure and the Police captured him again. On Friday, in a court, the legalization of capture was processed with charges of homicide in circumstances of punitive aggravation in a heterogeneous contest with manufacture, carrying or possession of weapons, accessories, parts or ammunition and qualified theft in the degree of attempt.

The prosecutor explained that he could access legal benefits if he confessed to the murder.

The hearing was suspended pending a dialogue between the detainee and his lawyer. After a few minutes the young man said that he did not accept charges, but the court issued the assurance when evaluating the proposals of the Prosecutor’s Office and the Police reports.
