The murder of Colombian Men’s National Team player Andrés Escobar occurred after the 1994 FIFA World Cup, during which Escobar notched an own goal that resulted in Colombia being eliminated from that tournament. While it is widely believed that the own goal is the main reason for why Escobar was shot and killed, the story behind the execution of the murder has come into question. One theory that could have some legitimacy is that Colombian drug lords may have played a part in a triggerman being jailed for the crime when they were, in fact, behind the killing.
