Three young men were killed by non-identified armed men in the rural area of Campamento, Antioquia department, said Indepaz. "They were taken from a house where they were staying and subsequently killed."
According to local media reports, the events were apparently triggered by the victim's refusal to attend a meeting with members of an armed group.
Indepaz identified one of the victims as Erley David Sánchez Madrid, while it did not identify the other two victims. The young men were reportedly between 18 and 20 years old.
