Inside, they see the Cartel men relaxing and Escobar giving one of them a package of cocaine.

The United States and Colombian governments saw Escobar as an enemy.

Moises dies as a consequence of torture while fugitives 4 continue to his escape but still injured Victor manages to see Escobar and April and when the captain fires his gun to Carlos Alberto, Victor stands sacrificing his life for his best friend.

Higuita had not seen Escobar since the drug kingpin escaped in July of 1992, Lizcano said.

From my readings on the subject, I recall that he was apparently shot after insulting a couple of senior drug gang members who objected to seeing Escobar out drinking in a nightclub so soon after the WC exit.
