A chilling death list containing 69 names appeared on Facebook in Colombia. According to the clues provided by the list, 31 of these individuals are predicted to die this week. In the ten days since the list was published, three teenagers named on it have already been killed… Is this a real-life Death Note?

On August 17th, someone posted the list on Facebook, demanding that the people named leave Asis, Puerto Rico within three days. The police initially dismissed it as a cruel joke until 31 more women's names were added to the list. Shortly afterward, 16-year-old student Diego Jaramillo and 17-year-old Eibart Ruiz Munoz were shot dead while returning to Asis. Five days later, 19-year-old Norbey Vargas was also killed, and all their names appeared on the death list.

Now, this list has sparked panic among Colombians. Parents of the children on the list no longer allow their kids to leave home to avoid any mishap. Colombian police speculate that this might be the work of the criminal gang Los Rastrojos or the radical group Guerrillia-Gruppe.
