Overview
- During an outdoor shoot on Saturday in Bogotá’s Santa Fe district, a man with a cutting weapon attacked crew members near the Instituto Roosevelt, leaving two workers and the attacker dead and at least one person injured.
- Police identified the crew members killed as Nicolás Francisco Perdomo Corrales, 18, and Henry Alberto Benavides Cárdenas, 45, and named the alleged attacker as Josué (José) Cubillos García, in his early twenties.
- Security-camera footage is part of the case file, and four people detained at the scene were later released by a judge who found they acted in self-defense as the Fiscalía continues the probe.
- The producers paused recording on Monday out of respect for the victims, with TIS Studios and Telemundo issuing condolences and TIS noting the assault happened outside the official set.
- Industry guilds urged stronger protections for location shoots, calling for risk checks, on-site security, and coordination with local authorities, changes that could reshape how crews work in public spaces.
