A woman has been shot dead during the funeral procession of her friend who was murdered days before.
Cindy Ochoa, 34, was riding pillion on a motorcycle alongside the hearse when a gunman on another motorcycle opened fire.
The attacker reportedly fired around eight shots at Lizcano before she fell from the bike in front of shocked mourners.

Two other mourners were also injured in the shooting, with a woman reportedly hit in the leg and buttock and a man wounded in the buttock and knee.
Lizcano was rushed by ambulance to a nearby medical centre but died from her injuries shortly before 3:30 pm last Wednesday (14 Oct).
The attack happened in Cúcuta, northern Colombia, as mourners accompanied the funeral of Nathalia Alarcón, 22.
Alarcón was shot dead on 11 October after reportedly visiting an unnamed prisoner at La Modelo Prison.
She was shot three times in the El Salado area, as reported by Need To Know.
Her family said she was studying nursing and had two children.
Investigators are now examining whether the two killings are connected, although authorities have not confirmed a motive or announced any arrests.
Lizcano was found to be wearing an electronic monitoring bracelet linked to a house-arrest order while facing criminal proceedings.
Her lawyer, Diego León, said she had not been convicted and that the case remained at trial stage.
He said they had planned to request the removal of her monitoring bracelet so she could leave the city because of alleged threats against her.
León also reportedly said the prosecution had failed to attend a scheduled hearing concerning the request.
Lizcano had faced proceedings over alleged firearms possession, with reports also linking her to a wider investigation into a suspected criminal network.
Police are reviewing CCTV footage and gathering witness statements to establish whether the killings were directly connected.
