Mass murder in 2000Massacres in Colombia
The Reminiscencias dance club shooting was a mass murder that occurred in Bogotá, Colombia on June 24, 2000, when 26-year-old Juan de Jesús Lozano Velásquez, accompanied by his friends Henry Orozco Casas and Julián Andrés Barbosa, fired an Uzi machine gun at revelers at the Reminiscencias dance club, after a friend of his asked them for help in case of a possible fight after a young woman refused to dance with him earlier. Velásquez killed eleven people, including Barbosa (by accident), wounded seven others, and then escaped with Orozco Casas, but was eventually arrested in Spain several months later, extradited back, and sentenced to 40 years in prison.
