Mass Violence
Time: 1990s
Place: Medellín, Colombia
Details: The Colombian cartels' continuing struggles to maintain supremacy resulted in Colombia quickly becoming the world's murder capital with 25,100 violent deaths in 1991 and 27,100 in 1992. This increased murder rate was fueled by Escobar's giving money to his hitmen as a reward for killing police officers, over 600 of whom died as a result.
Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
