Moments later, a group of men could be seen leaving the property and walking toward where Salinas had been taken.

The suspects, including a man carrying a rifle, returned to their cars before fleeing.

Two suspects were later arrested in connection with the shooting.

Cali Police Commander Carlos Oviedo said one of the individuals, identified only by his nickname, ‘La Maravilla,’ was carrying two illegal firearms when his vehicle was stopped.

‘He (La Maravilla) was found with two Glock-type pistols in the vehicle he was using and had a criminal record,’ said Oviedo.

One of the alleged shooters was seen walking with a rifle outside the Rey de Corazones hotel where the shooting took place early Sunday morning.

‘We are checking if the other person also has a criminal record. He was arrested as a co-author of the murder of the person found inside the motel.’

Authorities identified the fatal shooting victim as Andrés Cuertas, 23 years old.

The other injured victim, a woman who was dating another local DJ, suffered a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to the leg.

Oviedo said it appeared the gunmen were targeting Salinas.
