A Dutch tourist was killed in an attack by gunmen on a Brazilian drug trafficker in Leticia (Colombia), in the Amazon.
The assault took place at a restaurant in the city, police said Thursday.
The gunmen, who were riding a motorbike, killed trafficker Celso Caldas de Lima and injured two other Brazilians.
The Dutch woman who was seated nearby was injured and succumbed to her injuries in hospital.
The European national was on a tourist trip, according to a Colombian police official.
Cocaine trafficking between Colombia and Brazil
Celso Caldas de Lima was arrested five years ago in Colombia during an operation by the security forces against drug trafficking.
He was then accused of establishing links between the Clan del Golfo, the most powerful Colombian cartel, and La Familia do norte, one of the largest criminal organizations in the Amazon.
He was wanted by Interpol for drug trafficking, homicide, racketeering.
The police did not say why he was at large.
Colombia and Brazil have a common border of 1,600 km through which circulates the cocaine manufactured by the Colombian cartels.
Colombia is the largest producer and exporter of this drug in the world.
