The Metropolitan Police of the capital of Vallecaucana confirmed that Meléndez had a preliminary balance of one deceased and several injured. The institution reported that currently only material damage has been identified in the Los Mangos neighborhood, and Manuela Beltrán reports an unknown number of injuries.
