Colombian senator and presidential hopeful Miguel Uribe has died two months after being shot in the head in a targeted attack which shocked the South American nation.
The 39-year-old 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.
His wife confirmed his death on social media, paying tribute to “the love of my life”.
Tweet translation – “Miguel Uribe Turbay, leader of the Colombian right, passed away after two months of hospitalization.
This is how he was shot by an infiltrator at his last campaign rally”
