In Suaza, Huila, two men on a motorcycle carried out the first massacre of 2026 in southern Huila, killing four people in two separate attacks. The incidents took place in rural areas on Sunday, according to preliminary reports from authorities. Huila Police requested community help to identify the perpetrators.
On Sunday, around 2:00 p.m., two individuals dressed in dark clothes arrived on a motorcycle at a billiard hall in the El Líbano rural area of Suaza. Without a word, one entered the establishment and shot two men who were drinking alcoholic beverages, killing them instantly. The attackers fled in an unknown direction.
Authorities activated a lockdown plan to apprehend them, with support from Police and Army units. The Technical Investigation Corps (CTI) of the Attorney General's Office conducted technical inspections of the bodies and collected physical evidence to clarify the double homicide.
Three hours later, around 5:00 p.m., the same alleged hitmen arrived in the Gallardo populated center, also in rural Suaza. At a local bakery, they shot two men present, killing them on the spot. Several residents were in the place during the attack.
At the time of publication, the identities of the four victims remained unknown. The Huila Police Department, via its X account, requested citizen collaboration to locate those responsible for these two violent incidents.
This southern Huila region is influenced by the GAOR Rodrigo Cadete Front, part of the Central High Command of FARC dissidents, a group that has used pamphlets and selective killings to intimidate the civilian population. Investigations aim to determine the motives of the massacre, which mourns several families in the department.
