How the controversial shooting of 16-year-old graffiti artist Diego Felipe Becerra led to allegations of a police cover-up.
I remember the day about eight years ago that my kid’s teacher told me her 16-year-old relative had been shot dead. By the police. Now the dead youth’s parents were under armed protection because of death threats, she said. From the police.
It took a while for my brain to unravel the unfolding tale of a 16-year-old graffiti artist shot dead by a patrolman under a flyover on Calle 116 and Avenida Boyacá. A bridge that today, eight years later, carries his name: Diego Felipe Becerra Lizarazo, and the statement ‘No + Falsos Positivos’: No more false positives.
