Reminiscencias dance club shooting

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 fatally shot eleven individuals, including Barbosa (accidentally), and injured seven more before fleeing with Orozco Casas. He was later apprehended in Spain, extradited to Colombia, and sentenced to 40 years of imprisonment.
