Cali unveils poster of 20 most wanted for homicides

Cali's city hall, with the National Police and Prosecutor's Office, unveiled a poster featuring 20 most wanted criminals for homicides. A reward of up to 100 million pesos is offered for information leading to their capture. One has already been arrested, linked to a 2025 homicide.

On March 17, 2026, Cali's authorities launched a new most wanted poster listing 20 individuals linked to homicides, criminal disputes, and microtrafficking, based on Dijin investigations by the National Police. The effort seeks citizen support to facilitate arrests, targeting groups behind recent violence. One man was already captured, accused of aggravated homicide and illegal weapons possession, tied to an incident in Floralia neighborhood in March 2025 and allegedly to microtrafficking network reorganization there. Mayor Alejandro Eder urged residents to report tips, noting homicides connect to illegal economies like narcotrafficking, with fight-related cases declining but sicario attacks rising. General Herbert Benavidez, commander of the Cali Metropolitan Police, stated these targets are linked to at least 41 violent incidents. Absolute confidentiality is assured, with lines 321 394 51 56, 123, and 156 available for tips.
