Javier Ordóñez was a father of a family and a husband who used to drive a taxi to bring food home. He was about to receive his law degree, and he was studying areonautics. He was a resident of a group in the Santa Cecilia neighborhood, in the town of Engativá, and died after a violent police operation.
“Javier was a lawyer and had also studied aeronautics. But he had a taxi and lived off his taxi. He had two children who lived with him, his mother lives in Barcelona. He was in the apartment drinking with two more friends, they all went out, I imagine to buy beer, “one of the victim’s aunts told Citynoticias.

He was 44 years old, his two children 11 and 15, and according to relatives and acquaintances, he was a great father, husband and friend. One of the concerns of the lawyer’s family now has to do with the fact that his mother is in Barcelona, and one of his brothers is in Argentina, and due to the pandemic, it is difficult for them to come and fire Javier.
“Javier was a very sociable man. He was surrounded by people all the time, he was a very insightful person, he talked a lot”, recalls Eliana Garzón, Javier’s ex-sister-in-law, in conversation with EL TIEMPO, “he was the center of the meetings. laugh at everyone. I want to highlight the heart of gold that Javier had. This is not because he died, I highlighted him in life, he had a very kind heart “.
Garzón added: “Do not want to obscure the memory of a person saying bad things. Saying that he was a gem, that he was a drunk, that he attacked the policemen, that never happened. He was a father, he was a husband, a brother, a son”.
“At this moment we only want to rebuild the lives of their children and their mother. We are looking for psychological help for the children, I think they need it. We are going step by step, waiting for justice to be done. We are interested in a criminal process where those responsible go to jail, “said Garzón.
For his part, Hernando Bermúdez, his cousin, remembers him as a responsible man. “His children were his eyes, he was a happy, talkative person. He liked the law because he loved to defend people, to defend people’s human rights,” he said.
“They did not treat him as a human being, they lied to us because we were in the altercation because I live in the same group as him. The Police told us that they were going to the URI of the Farm, that was a lie, they went to the CAI “, he denounced.
“My cousin left the group walking, he was voted in by the patrol and received the first blow to the head, they took him to the CAI and the next news was that he had died.”
This fact has caused great outrage in the city and the country, and there are already scheduled sit-ins and cacerolazos in different parts of the city, among them the CAI where they initially transferred the lawyer, who later died in the Santa María del Lago clinic.
