Miguel Uribe Turbay, a Colombian senator and presidential candidate, died on August 9, 2025, two months after being shot during a campaign rally in Bogotá on June 7. The 39-year-old, who held a degree from the Harvard Kennedy School obtained in 2022, was hit by two bullets to the head and one to the leg, allegedly fired by a 15-year-old hitman. Six individuals have been arrested in connection with the attack, although the motive remains unclear. Uribe was considered a leading figure of the right-wing presidential race and was remembered by Colombian citizens and international observers as a passionate leader and symbol of hope for democracy in Colombia. His funeral took place on August 13 at the Catedral Primada de Colombia in Bogotá, with thousands attending to pay tribute. The ceremony included a religious mass followed by a funeral procession from Plaza de Bolívar to the Central Cemetery.
