Minute30.com .- The night of Friday, January 23, confirmed what many residents of northeastern Medellín feared: the appearance of a systematic and macabre criminal pattern. In a fact that bears exact similarities to the discovery recorded hours before in the Popular 2 sector, the authorities reported the discovery of a new lifeless body in the Berlin neighborhood, jurisdiction of Aranjuez.
This second case, which occurred under the same modus operandi, has set off the alarms of the intelligence agencies, suggesting a possible internal conflict or a purge between criminal structures that operate in communes 1 and 4.
The same pattern: A gray vehicle and vinyl plastic on the head
This event was reported on Calle 95 and Carrera 46A. According to unofficial versions, a gray vehicle—a characteristic that coincides with the Popular 2 report—stopped momentarily to throw a package on the side of the road before fleeing at high speed.
Neighbors gave notice and authorities confirmed the scene: a young man was lying lifeless with his head completely wrapped in vinyl-type plastic. The strictness of the packaging prevented the agents from immediately determining the causes of death or the type of injuries received, a characteristic hallmark of contract crimes in recent days in the city.
In context: They threw him from a gray car! Body found with head wrapped in plastic in Popular 2
Technical inspection: Unidentified victim
His death was classified as a “homicide to be established” because the body did not have visible injuries to the naked eye due to the plastic protection.
The unidentified body, approximately between 20 and 25 years old, would have a thin build, according to unofficial versions.
The victim was wearing black clothing, but no shoes were found on him. His head was wrapped in transparent vinyl.

What is happening in the northeast?
The similarity between the Popular 2 case and this discovery in Aranjuez does not seem to be a coincidence. Three details stand out:
The gray car to abandon bodies on public roads.
Wrapping the head in plastic, which in criminal jargon is often used to avoid blood trails in the vehicle or as a “silencing” message.
Both crimes impact the northeastern area, a strategic corridor for various local gangs.
The motives for this crime are the subject of investigation. Forensic Medicine is expected to determine in the next few hours whether the cause of death was mechanical asphyxiation or gunshot wounds.
