Authorities in Colombia have arrested a 23-year-old woman known as “The Doll” for her alleged role in several violent killings linked to organized crime. Karen Julieth Ojeda Rodriguez, identified by her alias “La Muneca,” was reportedly connected to the Los de la M gang.
Police say Rodriguez was behind a string of gang-related killings, including the July 23 assassination of her ex-boyfriend, Deyvy Jesus. Investigators revealed that Rodriguez invited him to meet under the pretense of resolving a financial dispute. When he arrived, two men on a motorcycle fatally shot him, allegedly following her orders.

Rodriguez was detained alongside two others: Paula Valentina Joya Rueda, nicknamed “Gorda Sicaria,” and a man identified only as “Leopoldo.” Police seized a revolver and a 9-millimeter pistol during the operation and are analyzing the weapons to determine if they were used in any of the recent murders.
Lt. Col. Mauricio Herrara of the Magdalena Medio police said the arrests represent progress in addressing the region’s 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 stated.

Rodriguez’s arrest has drawn significant attention due to her public persona and the nature of her alleged crimes. Videos of her being escorted by police through the streets of Barrancabermeja have gone viral, highlighting the notoriety of her alias.
The arrests are part of ongoing efforts to curb violence in Colombia, where cities like Bucaramanga experience high homicide rates. Officials continue investigating as they work to dismantle the criminal networks behind these crimes.
