Juliana was riding a motorcycle to the property on the Villa Morena estate where she lived with her family when she was attacked by two people. They shot her twice in the back and then stabbed her in the face before fleeing. She died at the scene.

Juliana was from Tuluá and had been the target of a firearm attack in the municipality of Riofrío in 2016.

Note that although the TGEU list gives her date of death as 2nd July, one of the news reports gives the date of her murder as Friday 30th June.
