The trader
This newspaper investigated and established that the Lexus belongs, for four months, to Rafael Julio Vega Cuello.
It has a company located in Barranquilla dedicated to the sale of computers and telecommunications activities. But what has caught the attention of the authorities is that Vega Cuello had already been the victim of an attack.
In September 2012, when he was in a neighborhood in the north of Barranquilla, two gunmen opened fire on several people who were in the place where a car sale was taking place.
On that occasion, the businessman was injured. Apparently, he was saved because his companions opened fire on the attackers.
The Lexus registers a summons in Medellín, because Vega was driving without the SOAT.
Regarding the Toyota that crashed into a taxi, belongs to Arneli Burgos Martínez.
The woman is being located to establish if the Toyota is still in his charge and if he has information about what happened.
