Gacha’s reign of terror was over. The man involved in both the assassination of Luis Carlos Galán and the Avianca 203 bombing was now dead. It was the first step in weakening the Medellin Cartel and bringing Escobar down.

José Gonzalo Rodríguez Gacha, also known as The Mexican, was one of the violent kingpins of the Medellin Cartel. His death came in the form of a lucky break. After arresting Gacha’s son Fredy for a minor infraction, the cops released him and waited for him to lead them back to his dad. And he did. On December 15, 1989, the cops raided a beachside property in Tolu and killed over 15 of his bodyguards. After bringing his red Chevy to a stop, the cops killed Gacha with a headshot. Some believe that Gacha killed himself by holding a grenade to his face because the damage was so bad that they had to bring in medical examiners to confirm his identity. But after seeing that there was no damage to his hands, the cops concluded that would have been impossible.
