Colombian international striker Elson Becerra has been shot dead whilst on a night out in a nightclub in Cartagena.

The 27-year-old who played his club football in the United Arab Emirates for Al-Jazeera was shot four times while he was dancing with a friend and died shortly after in the health centre he was rushed to.

Rumours of incident are mixed with some reports saying that the killers were part of a group the footballer has an argument a few nights earlier, with others mentioning the involvement of contracted assassins.

Becerra is now the 12th Colombian footballer to be shot dead in the last 20 years, as well as a referee.

Col. Mauricio Agudelo, police chief of Bolivar state spoke to the media about the incident: "The attackers were looking for a chance in the discotheque and in the middle of the music they committed the double crime."

Holy crap, that is bad! They were probably looking to get money out of him and he wasn't being pushed over and so they lost their patience. Sad to see.

it is terrible if the deaths are all related tp football , we are lucky over here in that the players only generally get verbal abuse .

Columbians must be highly annoying or something. How many reports I've seen on anti-Columbian attacks.

Ridiculous. People who carry out things like that are ruining their own football league & their country (if it's not already ruined).
