Javier Florez of Colombian team Atletico Junior was released on bail after being arrested on charges that he shot to death a fan who had taunted him after a key loss at Once Caldas in the Copa Mustang.
Florez turned himself in to police several hours after the alleged shooting of Israel Cantillo Escamilla, which took place in a neighborhood south of the Caribbean coastal city of Barranquilla on Sunday morning.
He had been taunted by youths for his play in the final against Once Caldas, which won, 2-1. He was replaced in the second half.
Florez was reported to have been in his vehicle, where beer bottles were found.
