Jose Everardo Aguilar
Shooting
Jose Everardo Aguilar, a reporter for the privately-owned regional radio stations Radio Super and Bolivar Estereo, was gunned down in his home in El Bordo, a town in the southwestern department of Cauca.
The gunman, an apparent contract killer, entered Everardo's home on the evening of 24 April on the pretext of bringing him information and photos. Once inside, he shot Everardo three times, killing him instantly.
Very popular in the Cauca region, Everardo had often talked on the air about alleged corruption cases involving the departmental government. One of his sons told journalists that he had received threats.
