BOGOTA, Aug. 11 (Reuters) – Colombian Sen. Miguel Uribe, who was hospitalized since being shot in the beginning in June during a campaign event, has passed away, his family said Monday.
Uribe (39), a potential presidential candidate for the right-wing opposition, was shot dead in Bogota on June 7th during a rally.
“I ask God to show me how to learn to live without you,” his wife, Maria Claudia Tarazona, wrote on social media. “Live in peace, my love for life, I will take care of our children.”
