When she was outside and approached the white van suspected of being the vehicle she was traveling in, she was the victim of a direct attack from another unit whose occupants fled," it was officially reported.

Journalist Carlos Jimenez reported that Paola Salcedo had arrived at the hospital alive, but eventually died. Paola Salcedo has a son from his past relationship with Uruguay goalkeeper Nicolas Vikonis.
