fisherman

The mother of one of the victims insisted he was a fisherman, not a drug trafficker.

Here in the cliff-side village of Las Cuevas, one family is mourning Chad Joseph, 26 years old, whom relatives described as a fisherman and handyman desperate to find a steady job.

His threat followed social-media posts by Petro, who accused the U.S. of killing a fisherman and violating the country’s sovereignty in territorial waters.

Most were fishermen whose boats sunk or capsized.

At least one Colombian is among the dead, a fisherman who Petro now admits may have become involved in trafficking "intermittently" to escape poverty.
