The teenager was hospitalized in critical condition in the ICU and mobilized hundreds of people in prayer chains, which crossed the hospital walls and touched hearts throughout the region.
A fight for life.
Gabriela was admitted to the health unit after experiencing severe symptoms that progressed rapidly.

The outpouring of emotion was immediate. Schools, churches, and community groups paid tribute and sent messages of support to the family, in a collective gesture of grief and solidarity.

Gabriela was not a public figure, but her story moved everyone as if she were.
Studious, sweet, and well-liked by her friends, her presence left a positive mark on the places she frequented. Teachers and classmates described her as a kind, cheerful, and dedicated girl.
“The pain is immeasurable. She was an exemplary student and a loyal friend. We still can’t believe it,” said a teacher at Gabriela’s school.
In front of the institution, friends brought flowers, lit candles, and posted farewell messages on the walls.

Young woman died after jumping out of a moving taxi: the driver wouldn’t let her get out
Bad news today. Breaking News. National mourning and concern in Colombia.
Tragic news has shaken Colombia in recent hours, generating a wave of outrage, grief, and unanswered questions. A young woman lost her life after desperately jumping out of a moving taxi, allegedly because the driver wouldn’t let her get out.
The unfortunate incident occurred at night on a busy road in a Colombian city that, for legal reasons, has not yet been revealed. According to eyewitnesses, the young woman, identified as 22-year-old Daniela Muñoz , was screaming from inside the vehicle and banging on the windows, pleading for help. Minutes later, in an act of desperation, she jumped out of the taxi while it was still moving.
Paramedics arrived at the scene after the emergency call, but unfortunately, the young woman was no longer showing vital signs . The impact with the pavement was fatal. According to preliminary reports, she suffered severe head and neck injuries.
What happened inside the taxi?
Authorities are investigating the circumstances of the incident. The taxi driver was arrested moments later and is being questioned. In his initial statements, he stated that he “didn’t realize” the young woman wanted to get out and that “she acted impulsively.”
However, witness accounts contradict this claim , as several drivers and pedestrians reported hearing screams and strange noises coming from the taxi moments before the jump. Some residents even claim that Daniela tried to open the door several times without success.
This tragic incident has rekindled the debate about safety in informal transport services and the need to strengthen protection mechanisms for women traveling alone.
National mourning and shock
Social media was quick to react with messages of mourning and profound sadness. The hashtag #JusticiaParaDaniela trended on Twitter, where thousands of users demanded a thorough investigation and exemplary punishment if the driver is found criminally responsible.
The President of the Republic expressed his dismay in an official statement: “We deeply regret the loss of a young Colombian woman in circumstances that urgently need to be clarified. Our solidarity goes out to her family. Justice must act swiftly.”
Feminist groups and human rights defenders have called for a vigil in memory of Daniela , demanding greater protections for women who use public and private transportation in the country.
Growing concern
This case adds to a worrying list of situations in which women have been victims of violence or abuse on public transportation. Authorities have promised to review safety protocols for drivers and establish stricter monitoring mechanisms.
Daniela’s grief-stricken family has called for respect during their mourning, but has also demanded that her death not go unpunished.
