Mark Zuckerberg, the Facebook founder, American media magnate, internet entrepreneur, and philanthropist is making headlines for unwarranted reasons.

The Policía Nacional de los Colombianos aka Columbian National Police, who run a very active Facebook page posted two artist sketches of two perpetrators on Facebook on June 28.

The police shared the photos and the details of the crime and mentioned that there is a reward of 3 million dollars for helping with the capture.

The rough translation of the post, “Help us locate them! These are the portraits spoken of the perpetrators of the attack on the helicopter carrying Mr. president Iván Duque and his entourage. Up to $ 3.000 million reward. Contact lines 3213945367 or 3143587212.”

What caught the attention of netizens is one of the sketches of the perpetrators looked eerily like a badly-drawn portrait of Mark Zuckerberg.

Al Jazeera reported that Colombia’s President Ivan Duque alleged that a helicopter he was on was struck by multiple bullets when flying through the country’s Catatumbo region towards the city of Cucuta, capital of the country’s Norte de Santander province on Friday. In addition to Duque, the helicopter was carrying other officials, including defence minister Diego Molano, interior minister Daniel Palacios, and governor of Norte de Santander Silvano Serrano.

Al Jazeera quoted a spokesperson, “No one was injured in the incident.”
