Gunmen killed "El Científico," Dayra Caicedo's kidnapper, in Colombia

Harold Segura, known as "El Científico," the alleged mastermind behind the kidnapping of Dayra Caicedo, was shot and killed at his home. This ended a key investigation into the February kidnapping. Authorities linked Segura to the crime through surveillance footage showing meetings with other suspects. He allegedly ordered the GPS tracking of Caicedo's vehicle and planned the abduction, which lasted 34 days before her release. Segura was reportedly connected to the Humildad y Pureza (HP) gang, and the investigation continues to uncover details about the kidnapping's motive and potential ransom. A suspect remains under house arrest.
