Colombia's Attorney General's Office has opened a criminal investigation into the plane crash that killed beloved música popular star Yeison Jiménez and five others, according to confirmations issued Sunday by Colombian authorities.
The probe, led by prosecutors in Boyacá with support from Colombia's CTI investigative police, seeks to establish the circumstances surrounding the crash of a small aircraft that went down shortly after takeoff on Saturday afternoon near Paipa, a municipality in the central Andean department of Boyacá. All six people, the artist and his team, on board died at the scene.
