Pablo Escobar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1173 words)
Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria (January 12, 1949 – December 2, 1993) gained world infamy as a Colombian drug lord who became one of the richest men in the world by smuggling cocaine into the United States and countries around the world.
Accordingly, how Escobar was killed during the confrontation has been debated, but it is known that he was cornered on the rooftops of Medellín and suffered gunshots to the leg, back, and the fatal one behind his ear.
The hunt for Escobar was documented in Mark Bowden's book Killing Pablo, and a motion picture based on this book is scheduled for release sometime in 2005 [1].
