Former El Salvador soccer player Alfredo Pacheco was shot dead, officials said on Sunday. The 33-year-old was shot at a gas station in Santa Ana, about 47 miles west of the capital San Salvador, the Salvadoran attorney general's office said. A man reportedly approached Pacheco and fired several shots, killing the former athlete and injuring two others, according to police. The defender was banned for life in 2013 for match-fixing. Pacheco and 13 other members of the national team were found guilty of taking bribes to throw several matches between 2010 and 2013.
