Two crew members were killed in the brutal assault, along with the attacker, who died after being confronted by production staff and members of the public.
The victims have been named as Henry Alberto Benavides Cárdenas, 45, a long-serving member of the crew, and 18-year-old Nicolás Francisco Perdomo Corrales.
It is understood Nicolás was killed while trying to help his colleague.
A third victim remains in a critical condition in hospital.
Police Commander General Giovanni Cristancho said the suspect suffered from a psychotic disorder worsened by substance abuse.
