Colombian police have arrested Karen Julieth Ojeda Rodriguez, known as “The Doll,” for her alleged involvement in a string of murders connected to gang activity. The 23-year-old was apprehended alongside two accomplices in Barrancabermeja.
Police say Rodriguez, also known by her alias “La Muneca,” played a central role in organizing the July 23 killing of her ex-boyfriend, Deyvy Jesus. Investigators revealed that she invited him to a meeting, which turned into a fatal ambush carried out by two motorcycle riders.

others, identified as Paula Valentina Joya Rueda, or “Gorda Sicaria,” and a man called “Leopoldo,” were also arrested. Authorities seized a revolver and a 9-millimeter pistol, which are being analyzed for ties to other violent crimes.
Lt. Col. Mauricio Herrara praised the arrests as a breakthrough in curbing violence. “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,” he said.

The case has drawn significant public interest due to Rodriguez’s nickname and alleged criminal activities. Videos of her being taken into custody have circulated widely, capturing the public’s attention.
While charges are pending, authorities are working to dismantle criminal organizations and address the high levels of violence in cities like Bucaramanga, where homicides occur every three days.
