A footballer has been declared wanted by police in Argentina, after he allegedly shot and killed a referee, who sent him off in a game played in the Cordoba province.
The player pulled out a gun from his bag after the red card, returned to the field and shot 48-year-old Cesar Flores dead.
A police source told the Efe news agency: “It all happened during the football match. We don’t know [exactly what took place], but it appears the player was angry, fetched a gun and killed him.”
According to reports, Flores was shot three times, in the head, chest and neck, while another player, Walter Zarate was left injured.
Just last year in Argentina, a referee was beaten until he was unconscious, after showing a yellow card in a match between Ferro and Tiro Federal.
