According to the Mayor's Office, this crime would be related to a confrontation over the micro-trafficking business in the area. The victims were identified as Yulieth Natalia Díaz Carmona, 26 years old; Julián Vanegas Marulanda, 23 years old; and Michel Daiana Sánchez Díaz, 13 years old.
The authorities of this municipality blame criminal gangs and paramilitary groups which are fighting over the territory.

According to Indepaz, this is the 32nd massacre so far this year in Colombia.
