Polo, who played for Valledupar FC and was dedicated to managing synthetic fields, was intercepted on September 21. He was moving through the center of the capital of Cesar, around 11 am. A man, dressed in black, pounced on him and pulled out a gun so that he could hand over his belongings.
The athlete was carrying a suitcase and reportedly refused to give it to the subject. In a matter of seconds, he was shot at point-blank range in his neck and jaw, as captured on security camera video.
He was transferred to a healthcare center and from that moment on he remained intubated under medical observation. “The part where the bullet hurt him, it did a lot of damage because in his neck there are arteries, vessels, veins, so that has affected him,” said his sister Lizzeth Stabilito for the local media El Pilón.

Tafur underwent surgery. The doctors had told the family members that it was necessary to wait for his evolution to determine if he would have consequences on his neurological system.
“He had complications, which even gave him a seizure there during the surgery and everything. So, they gave him a lot of blood there and they have him on constant medication to be able to do things right for him,” said Stabilito.
This September 26, the man they nicknamed ‘Champions’ died at the age of 42.
