Supports. AP reports Bolivian police arrested Cerimedo and prosecutors charged him with attempted femicide after two men shot his former romantic partner, Bolivian lawyer Nadia Beller, outside a hotel.[1]

Supports. Reuters reports Bolivian police detained Cerimedo as a suspect in the shooting of Beller, whom he was reported to have had a romantic issue with.[2]

Supports. A Bolivian court ordered 180 days of preventive detention for Cerimedo as part of an investigation into the alleged attempted femicide of his ex-partner.[4]

Supports. The Washington Post and LA Times report Cerimedo is accused of directing hitmen to kill his pregnant ex-partner in Bolivia, and Wikipedia records the same attempted femicide charge.[3][5][6]
