To make sure he was dead, Colonel Carillo fired five bullets at him.

Salvador Osuna Nava was the rude Director-General of the DFS and associate of the Gudalajara cartel in Narcos: Mexico. He often exhibited feelings of disdain towards Felix and kept demanding an increase to his cut.

Sadly, Escobar’s men caught up with him before he could leave. Two men on a motorcycle rode close to his car on the highway and sprayed bullets at him. The scene was brilliant because it was shown in alternation with another scene where an angry Escobar was addressing a crowd and promising to fight back against his enemies.

It turned out to be a lie. When Carillo and his men got there, they were ambushed. All of Carillo’s men were killed before Escobar showed up. What made the scene iconic was that Escobar took the bullet Carillo had sent him, put it in his gun and used it to kill him.

1 Rooftop Shootout Leaves Escobar Dead

The most brutal kill of them all was that of Pablo Escobar. After being on the run for a long time, the law finally caught up with him. Escobar made the mistake of communicating with his family during his 44th birthday. This enabled the Search Bloc to triangulate his location in Medellin.

As he spoke with his wife, he was ambushed by authorities. His only remaining henchman was gunned down in the shootout. Escobar kept firing back shots as he attempted to flee through the roof.
