A Colombian soccer player shot a fan with a handgun after being called "lousy", police said on Sunday.
Javier Florez, a midfielder for the Atletico Junior team of the Caribbean city in Barranquilla, ran from the scene of the shooting but soon turned himself in to authorities.
Witnesses told police Florez shot Israel Castillo with a handgun after the 27-year-old electrician called him a "maleta" or lousy in Colombian parlance.
Atletico Junior lost the Apertura Championship final to a team called Once Caldas late last month.
