Yeison Jiménez, one of the most popular Colombian singer-songwriters in Latin America, is among six people confirmed to have lost their lives in a fiery plane crash that has left authorities stunned.
The crash occurred on Saturday (January 10), just minutes after takeoff from Paipa Airport in Colombia’s Tundama Province as the 34-year-old and his crew were en route to a concert scheduled in the town of Marinilla near Medellín.
Tragically, the aircraft burst into flames after failing to gain altitude and exploded into pieces, fatally injuring all six passengers onboard, including Jiménez and his longtime photographer, Weisman Mora.
