Andres Escobar was a Colombian footballer shot to death after scoring on his own team.

1. Andrés Escobar Saldarriaga, 27, was shot 12 times on July 2, 1994. Escobar was a Colombian footballer who a few months before his murder, scored on his own team during a match against the US in the 1994 FIFA World Cup games.
2. Humberto Castro Muñoz, a bodyguard for a powerful Colombian drug cartel that lost a lot of money as a result of Escobar's own goal (the match was against the US and therefore millions of Americans were betting blindly on America) confessed to killing Escobar. Muñoz was released from prison only 11 years after murdering Escober on accounts of "good behavior."
