'Nobody is ever going to tell you': 3 theories regarding who killed 'The King of Cocaine' Pablo Escobar
Christopher Woody
Colombian police and military forces storm the rooftop where drug lord Pablo Escobar was shot dead just moments earlier during an exchange of gunfire between security forces and Escobar and his bodyguard December 2, 1993.
On December 2, 1993, Pablo Escobar, the wealthiest drug kingpin the world has ever seen, attempted to flee from a hideout in his home base of Medellín, Colombia, by scrambling across a neighboring rooftop. Instead, he was cut down by gunfire, and the resulting image has been seared into the public memory — the bloody corpse of the world’s most powerful drug lord splayed across a tile roof in the city that was once his safest redoubt. (WARNING: Next photo is graphic.)
The other men in that image, a group of Colombian troops, have long been regarded as the ones responsible for delivering to Escobar the justice he had so long avoided.
But accounts from rival traffickers and gang members, intelligence documents, and Escobar’s own family indicate that those troops, soldiers backed by the legitimacy of the state, may not have been the ones responsible for the demise of El Patron.
