January 16, 2013 About 250 km from Bogota, Columbia, Catholic priest Father Jose Francisco Velez Echeverri was found shot on Jan. 16 on the patio outside his home. Police believe it could have been a robbery gone awry, and a man was observed riding away on a bicycle from the scene. 2012 was the fourth consecutive year that the Americas logged the continents with the highest number of murders of priests and missionaries.
