According to Reuters, local media reported that Paez was returning home by car with his daughter after the 3-2 home loss to Atletico FC.

The 63-year-old was then killed by two men on a motorbike close to the stadium.

His daughter escaped unharmed and authorities are currently conducting an investigation into the murder.

“The Tigres family and the sporting community are devastated by this event,” the club said in a statement.

“His commitment to the team and his dedication to the development of the sport in our region left an indelible mark on all who had the privilege of knowing him.”

Fernando Jaramillo, President of the Major Division of Colombian Professional Football (DIMAYOR) which runs the professional leagues, mourned the death of Paez.

“He was always distinguished by his respect for his friends, by his strong but respectful positions and by the love he professed for the sport that we are all passionate about: football,” Jaramillo said.

There will be a minute’s silence for Paez in the next two rounds of matches.

Recall, on 2 July 1994, former Colombia defender Andres Escobar was shot dead in the aftermath of the 1994 FIFA World Cup.

It is believed that Escobar was killed as retaliation for having scored an own goal which contributed to the team’s elimination from the tournament.

Also on 8 January, 2006, Elson Becerra, who helped Colombia win the 2001 Copa America, was shot in a night club in his birth town Cartagena.

Becerra was killed together with his friend Alexander Ríos, apparently after they had a fight with a group of men a couple of days earlier.
