Abigail was known to be a prominent model and creator of adult content, according to reports.

A local security guard who witnessed the scene but who has not been named told local media: "I saw a car speeding up and a man behind him shot it three times and then the car left in a rush and missed a stop sign and ended up crashing into a taxi."
The guard said he took “two injured people out of the car, the girl and another person. I managed to get the driver of the car out".
The authorities have so far made no arrests.
A preliminary investigation reportedly suggests that the hit may have been a settling of scores related to drug trafficking in Bogota.
