The Metropolitan Police of Cartagena issued a statement and announced that at 10 am on Thursday, January 2, the lifeless and decomposed body of this 50-year-old man was found. According to the institution's report, García Hurtado had a stab wound; However, it did not provide details of how the attack occurred.

The investigation of the crime is being carried out by the Technical Investigation Corps (CTI) of the Attorney General's Office, which was responsible for carrying out the technical inspection of the body that was then taken to the morgue of Legal Medicine in Cartagena.
