Kasandra was shot dead by two hitmen riding a motorcycle.

The tranquility of the Betania neighborhood, north of Bucaramanga, was interrupted by a hitman attack that left Kasandra McKenzie as a victim.

Authorities said that, according to witness accounts, two armed men on a Pulsar NS motorcycle arrived at Carrera 10, near the sports field, with one sole purpose: to shoot the woman.

Witnesses to the incident say that one of the gunmen stayed on the motorcycle while the passenger got off and approached Kasandra McKenzie. The man said nothing and immediately opened fire, leaving the woman seriously injured. Neighbors in the area, alarmed by the shots, tried to help her, but in vain. Kasandra died at the scene.

Authorities arrived at the scene minutes after the attack, cordoning off the area and beginning the relevant investigations. The motives for the crime have not yet been revealed, but it is not ruled out that it is related to score-settling or personal problems.
