Shocking video shows a police officer fatally shoots his girlfriend before turning a gun on himself in Colombia.
“A new case of femicide occurred on the evening of Tuesday, April 22, 2025, in the Quintas del Sur neighborhood of Ciudad Bolívar, at the hands of an active-duty officer of the Bogotá Metropolitan Police.
According to information provided by authorities, the incident occurred at a beauty salon where the victim worked. The officer arrived there and, without saying a word, fired his service weapon, killing his partner. After committing the crime, he took his own life with the same firearm.
Lieutenant Colonel John Fernando Díaz, operational commander of citizen security number 2, confirmed the unfortunate event.
“In the last few hours, in the Quintas del Sur neighborhood of Ciudad Bolívar, a tragic incident occurred in which a woman lost her life at the hands of her ex-partner. The assailant, an active member of the National Police, used a firearm he owned to kill her and subsequently injured himself . She was taken to a medical center, where she died minutes later.”
According to information provided the woman’s body had been shot approximately ten times. The man emptied a magazine from his firearm, then reloaded and shot her a couple more times.
As reported the victim of this femicide was Yesica Paola Chávez Bocanegra, 26 years old. Also indicated that the apparent cause of this unfortunate event was because the young woman refused to continue sharing with the perpetrator, who was identified as Andrés Julián Meza Ramírez, 36 years old, due to a history of physical and psychological violence.
Despite Meza’s employment at the institution, he had a criminal record for domestic violence in 2019 and 2024.”
