Our investigation uncovered new details about the circumstances surrounding Abelardo’s death and revealed significant inconsistencies in the army’s account of events

Audio analysis was critical to the investigation. Working with audio forensic experts Dr Robert Maher and Steven Beck, we compared the sound of live supersonic rounds with testimonies, official statements & medical records to understand what the sound of bullets could tell us.

Our investigation with partners 070 looked into the fatal shooting of Colombian journalist Abelardo Liz. We analysed 118 videos filmed on the day of the shooting - including footage captured by Abelardo himself of the exact moment he was shot. bellingcat.com/news/2023/12/1…

Bellingcat is pleased to announce that our investigation “The Sound of Bullets” by Carlos Gonzales @mabl2k, has been nominated for the Innovation Award at this year’s European Press Prize in the innovation category.
