People are curious about the death of Colombian criminal Griselda Blanco and who killed her. Many are also wondering whether she died in the recently released Netflix miniseries Griselda based on her life. Here are both questions answered.
Who killed Griselda Blanco?
Griselda Blanco was assassinated by a mysterious middle-aged man on September 3, 2012.
Blanco met a brutal fate on September 3, 2012, when she and her pregnant daughter-in-law were on their way to a Cardiso butcher shop on the corner of 29th Street in Medellin, as she exited the vehicle she was in, a mysterious middle-aged man got on a motorcycle and shot her twice in the head as he rode away. It has been noted by many that the style of the drive-by-shooting committed by the assassin was first used by Blanco herself, who was credited with introducing this style of killing to Miami during her reign.
As Griselda lay dying on the ground, she was approached by her daughter-in-law, who placed a bible on her chest.
As of today, her killer has been unidentified and he likely remains at large. However, it is possible that her killer could be one of her enemies from her time as a violent and ruthless drug world figure. As the head of a drug empire, she was reported by unsubstantiated lore to have ordered and committed at least 250 murders and as such likely amassed a large number of enemies.
Does Griselda Blanco die in the Netflix TV show?
Griselda Blanco does not appear to die in the Netflix TV show as her death in 2012 is not depicted.
The ending of Griselda instead shows the Godmother of Cocaine getting arrested by the police before Rafa can get a chance to assassinate her. She is eventually granted a 7-year prison sentence thanks to a scheming Rivi and is visited in prison by her four sons.
In entertainment elsewhere, Matthew Vaughn has given an update on Kingsman 3. Also, Leo 2 has been teased in a Netflix earnings call.
