Newly surfaced video shows what are believed to be the last images of Rosa Angélica Tarazona, better known by her alias “La Bebecita” (Spanish for “Baby Girl”), recorded during a court hearing just hours before she was killed in a police operation in La Guajira, a department on Colombia’s Caribbean coast near the border with Venezuela.
Tarazona died alongside her romantic partner, known as “Bendito Menor,” one of the region’s most wanted men, sought on multiple charges. Their deaths came during a joint raid, ending what local media have described as a relationship marked by secrecy, weapons, and a previous escape from custody.
At the time of the hearing, Tarazona was attempting to get a judge to approve a plea agreement she had reached with prosecutors on a charge of aggravated criminal conspiracy. According to authorities, she had been arrested in 2025 but later violated the terms of house arrest that a judge had granted her, prompting renewed efforts to locate her.
The footage has drawn attention because it captures Tarazona in what would turn out to be her final public appearance before the fatal confrontation with security forces. Colombian officials have not released full details of how the operation unfolded or what led investigators to the location where the couple was found.
