What was supposed to be a football celebration ended in a “night of terror” in Cartagena. After the end of the match between Junior de Barranquilla and Palmeiras (1-1) in the Copa Libertadores, serious disturbances were reported in the vicinity of the Jaime Morón León Stadium.

  • Clashes: Fights and attacks were reported between alleged members of Junior and Real Cartagena supporters’ groups in areas surrounding the stadium and places such as the Transport Terminal.
  • Toll of violence: Citizen reports indicate a highly dangerous situation, with blunt objects being thrown and physical assaults.
  • Victims: So far, unofficial information is circulating about one person possibly having died due to the severity of the injuries suffered during the brawls. Local authorities are still working on the official confirmation of the death and the identity of the victim.
  • Response: The Metropolitan Police deployed operations at critical points to restore order, while residents of nearby neighborhoods are reporting a lack of security guarantees during the departure of the visiting supporters.
