A South American football chairman was brutally murdered after his team lost at the weekend.<\/p>\n

Edgar Paez was in attendance as the Colombian second division side he owned, Tigres FC, were beat 3-2 at their Estadio Luis Carlos Galan Sarmiento home by Atletico de Cali on Saturday (September 23) – leaving them rock bottom of the 16-team league.<\/p>\n

The 63-year-old was believed to be heading home in the capital of Bogota with one of his daughters when the car they were travelling in was approached by two men on a motorbike, who reportedly killed him close to the stadium around 6.15pm local time.<\/p>\n

According to local journalist Oscar Ostos, he was taken to the nearby Mederi Hospital but his life couldn't be saved. A report from the National Police said he'd suffered three fatal shots to the thorax, neck and skull.<\/p>\n

His daughter is said to have escaped from the harrowing incident unharmed. The authorities have opened an investigation into the murder.<\/p>\n

Responding to the tragic news, Paez's club issued a statement which read: "The Tigres family and the sporting community are devastated by this event.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

"His commitment to the team and his dedication to the development of the sport in our region left an indelible mark on all who had the privilege of knowing him."<\/p>\n

Tributes poured in, including form Fernando Jaramillo, the president of the Major Division of Colombian Professional Football. "He was always distinguished by his respect for his friends, by his strong but respectful positions and by the love he professed for the sport that we are all passionate about: football," Jaramillo said.<\/p>\n

A minute's silence will be held in the next two rounds of fixtures for Paez, who was previously a director of top-flight side Independiente Santa Fe. Tigres travel to face local rivals Bogota this coming Saturday (September 30).<\/p>\n
