Javier Antonio Flórez Valoyes (born 18 May 1982) is a Colombian retired professional footballer.[2]
Flórez was jailed in 2009 for shooting dead a fan after a game. Flórez, a midfielder was playing for Junior Barranquilla against Once Caldas in a two-leg match.[3] The victim, 33-year-old Israel Cantillo, was shot twice, and Flórez fled the scene.[4]
Cantillo was a fan of Flórez's team Junior.[5]
Flórez's lawyers agreed to pay $150 million compensation to the victim's family,[6] [7] [8] and as a consequence Flórez was released from jail in September 2009.[9]
Flórez has cited both self-defence,[5] and being drunk,[4] as the reasons for his crime.
