Horrific moment members of Colombian gang called 'The Satans' film themselves shooting up butcher shop for not paying extortion and killing owner, wounding four workers

A chilling video recorded by an assassin captured the moment he and another gang member opened fire at a butcher shop in Colombia, killing its owner and a worker and wounding three other employees.

The shooter held out his cell phone and held a note with a threatening message while one of his four accomplices sped on a motorcycle and approached the shop around 5 am on Thursday.

A surveillance camera near the butcher shop showed the gunman with the phone walking to the entrance and sparing the life of a man who was standing in front of a counter.

The individual held his hands up and then took off running down the sidewalk as the assassins fired at least 15 shots and returned to the motorcycles that were awaiting them for their escape.

The owner, José Bueno, 58, was pronounced dead on the scene and the worker, whose name has not been released, died at a hospital Thursday afternoon.

The three wounded employees remain at the hospital.

The suspects are still at large as of Friday afternoon.

The assassins identified themselves as members of the 'Los Satanás' street gang, whose leader, Venezuelan national José Vera, was captured in Ecuador this past November.

He is being held in a prison in the northern Colombian department of Cesar and isolated from the general inmate population to prevent him from contacting members.

José Vera oversees the notorious Colombian street gang, 'Los Satanás.' Vera, a Venezuelan national, was arrested in Ecuador in November 2023 and  later extradited to Colombia, where he is imprisoned

The Bogotá Metropolitan Police said the shooting was related to an extortion that Bueno did not meet. 

Authorities recovered a note that listed three phone numbers for Bueno to contact.

'Well, these are the consequences for not heeding the call that was made to you. If you do not communicate to reach a dialogue with us, then we will not let you work anymore and if you work you will continue to see these events here and your way,' the message indicated. 'We are also going to kill. Happiness and tranquility are priceless.'

It's unknown if the killers were aware that Bueno was at the butcher shop when they launched the assault.

No arrests have been made following Thursday's murder of José Bueno, who owned a butcher shop (pictured) in Bogotá, Colombia. One of Bueno's employees was also gunned down and three others suffered gunshot wounds

Business owners in the Bogotá neighborhoods of Ciudad Bolivar, Bosa and Kennedy, where the shooting took place, told Noticias Caracol that they had received threats following Buenos' murder.

'After that attack, we received several cell phone messages with our own names. My neighbors in the following stores have also received the messages,' a store owner said. 

'The man from the butcher shop, the one from the chickens (shop), the one who sells shirts. We have received threats that we have to donate money.'

Bueno initially owned a company that distributed supplies to bakeries in Fusagasugá, 42 miles away from Bogotá, before he entered an agreement with a cousin to take over the butcher shop.

'We left that sector a few years ago since we sold the premises,' He never told us that he was victims of threats or extortion,' the family member told El Tiempo newspaper.
