Colombia bid farewell on Tuesday to Senator and presidential pre-candidate Miguel Uribe Turbay, who died Monday after succumbing to injuries from a June assassination attempt, in a solemn ceremony at Bogotá’s Plaza de Bolívar that silenced the usually bustling political square.

Miguel Uribe Turbay, a Colombian senator and presidential hopeful who was hospitalized after being shot at a campaign event in June, has died, his wife announced on Monday.

Political violence has become rarer in recent years, with the government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia reaching a peace deal in 2016.
