A serving police officer allegedly shot a man dead after the pair were seen playing bar games together moments earlier.
Juan José Cordero Soto is accused of killing local resident Carlos Mora, 42, during an incident in Colombia’s capital Bogotá.
Shocking footage reportedly shows the officer and the victim taking part in a game of bolirana – a traditional Colombian target game – shortly before the fatal shooting on Sunday.

The video then appears to show the officer approaching Mora, drawing his service weapon and firing at close range, as reported by Need To Know.
Mora suffered a gunshot wound to the abdomen and collapsed to the floor.
He was rushed to a nearby medical centre for treatment but later died from his injuries.
The officer was detained and handed over to authorities later the same day.
Colombia’s National Police said it would fully cooperate with investigators as the case progresses.
A police spokesperson said: “We reiterate our absolute respect for due process, for which reason we will provide all the collaboration required by the judicial and oversight bodies to contribute to the full clarification of this regrettable incident.
“The National Police rejects this behaviour and reaffirms our commitment to transparency and legality.”
The homicide investigation is being led by the Attorney General’s Office through its Technical Investigation Corps.
The officer remains in custody while inquiries continue.
