Former Bolivian international footballer Sergio Jáuregui has been gunned down in cold blood while playing a friendly match in Mexico
The 38-year-old former international was shot six times by an unknown attacker at roughly 11am local time on Sunday during a friendly match in the Santa Inés neighbourhood of Cuautla, Morelos.
Defender Jáuregui had reportedly stepped off the field to rehydrate at the bench for a brief moment during the game when a gunman stormed up to him and fired at his unsuspecting victim at close range.
The shooter is said to have fled the scene on a motorbike that was waiting for him at the entrance to the ground, leaving the footballer fatally wounded.
Emergency services and ambulances quickly descended on the scene but were unable to save the stricken player who died almost immediately.
Images shared on social media showed a forensic investigation unit taking to the pitch as they combed the scene for potential evidence.
