Luis Andrés Colmenares Escobar (born May 23, 1990, in Villanueva (La Guajira),[1] Colombia - October 31, 2010 in Bogotá D.C., Colombia) was an economics and industrial engineering major student at Los Andes University in Bogotá D.C., Colombia, who was found dead under suspicious circumstances on October 31, 2010, after going to a Halloween party at a club in the popular "Zona Rosa".[2] Initial investigations explained Luis Andres' death as a result of an accident, but almost a year later prosecutors found evidence to start a murder investigation.[3] Ten months after Luis' death, the investigation was re-opened and suspects were named in the case. The prosecutor in this case was removed in a controversial decision by Colombia's Attorney General in May 2012 after constant complaints by counselor for the defense. In June 2012, Carlos Cárdenas was charged with Luis Colmenares' murder and detained.[4]
