Colombian Hitwoman Known As ‘The Doll’ Captured In Barrancabermeja

A Colombian woman accused of being a gangland hitwoman has been arrested following a series of violent killings. Karen Julieth Ojeda Rodriguez, better known as “La Muneca” or “The Doll,” was taken into custody alongside two accomplices.

Rodriguez is linked to the Los de la M gang and is accused of orchestrating several murders, including the July 23 ambush killing of her ex-boyfriend, Deyvy Jesus. Police report that Rodriguez lured him to a meeting where two men on a motorcycle fatally shot him.

The arrests also included Paula Valentina Joya Rueda, known as “Gorda Sicaria,” and a man identified only as “Leopoldo.” Police confiscated two firearms, which are now being examined for potential connections to recent homicides.

Lt. Col. Mauricio Herrara of the Magdalena Medio police highlighted the importance of the arrests, saying, “With the capture of alias La Muneca and alias Leopoldo, a period of calm has been created in the region. These arrests mark progress in the dismantling of criminal structures responsible for the recent homicides.”

Rodriguez’s arrest has drawn attention due to her public profile and nickname. Videos of her being escorted through Barrancabermeja have been widely shared, underscoring the high level of interest in the case.

Authorities remain committed to reducing violence and dismantling criminal networks in Colombia, particularly in areas like Bucaramanga, where homicide rates are alarmingly high.
