An 18-year-old high school student hit by a projectile thrown by anti-riot police in Bogota died on Monday. 

Dilan Cruz's death has triggered renewed calls for demonstrations in the capital as the nation's president tries to work out a resolution with protest organizers. 

Thousands of protesters have joined a nationwide strike to demand major economic changes since last week. 

Dilans case has resonated in the society, political and social unrest continues in Colombia.
