The trial for the murder that occurred in October 2015 in the Calvario area of Cartagena progresses with compelling evidence. The accused, a friend of the victim, tested a firearm hours before the crime. The victim was a drug trafficking intermediary and supplied him with drugs. Experts found gunshot residue in a car and the accused's fingerprints on documents related to narcotics. Violence linked to drug trafficking continues to affect public safety.
Ballistic expertise and residue analysis at the crime scene 🔍
Forensic investigation has been key. Experts analyzed gunshot residue in the suspect's vehicle, compatible with the weapon used. The accused's fingerprints on drug accounting documents were also compared, reinforcing the connection to drug trafficking. These technical tests, along with the timeline of events, allow the prosecution to reconstruct the accused's movements. The trial focuses on demonstrating premeditation and the direct link to the drug trafficking environment.
The accused's accelerated shooting course: free trial included 😅
It seems the accused wanted to make sure the weapon worked before the crime. Like a demanding customer testing a product before buying it. What he didn't calculate is that leaving a trail of gunpowder in the car is as discreet as wearing a sign that says I killed here. Now, the experts have given him a target shooting demonstration with his own evidence. Too bad he didn't also test the vehicle's security system.
