Mexican soccer experienced one of the most tragic moments on January 25, 2010, when América’s then star forward, Salvador Cabañas, was shot at the ‘El Bar Bar’ nightclub.

14 years following this event, journalist Carlos Jiménez, known as C4 Jiménez, revealed some details of that event.

Mainly he said that Cabañas did not die, because the weapon with which José Jorge Balderas Garza ‘El JJ’ shot him was of a small caliber.

Jiménez pointed out in the ‘Bar Bar’ that it was known that ‘El JJ’ was a member of the Beltrán Leyva cartel and that night he argued with the América striker over the Paraguayan’s lack of goals, taking into account that hours before the Águilas lost 2 -0 once morest Morelia.

“According to what the bathroom worker declares, which is the version established by the authority, they are in the bathroom urinating and ‘El JJ’ tells Cabañas ‘what happened to the goals, why haven’t you scored?'” says the journalist.

Apparently it caused annoyance in Cabañas and he responded “what goals? They are made of words and ‘El JJ’ takes out his gun and points it at Cabañas.”

Jiménez points out that the version indicates that Cabañas tells him “pull him, let’s see if it’s true” and they shoot him, but he manages to survive because the attacker “had a small caliber pistol, thanks to that he doesn’t die, the bullet hits his skull, It goes through it and it goes backwards, it passes through the brain and damages it.

At that time C4 Jiménez covered the investigation as a reporter and points out that the authorities were able to find the person responsible because ‘El JJ’ forgot his jacket in the bar where his identification came from.
