The family of a Colombian man believed to be killed by a strike on a boat in September has filed a human rights complaint against the United States, saying that the attack was “murder” and that he was denied the right to due process.

The family believes that Colombian citizen Alejandro Carranza Medina, who was 42 years old, was killed on September 15, 2025, in the second of the publicly announced boat strikes. In their petition to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR), they say that Carranza was denied his rights to due process and a fair trial in the killing.

This is the first known filing of its kind in relation to the strikes, and comes as the Trump administration is openly dismantling any human rights-related safeguards and enforcement measures in the U.S.
