Pablo Escobar's Deadliest Hitman Refused One Order — What He Said Saved a Child's Life

Jhon Jairo Velásquez "Popeye," Pablo Escobar's most loyal sicario, had killed over 250 people without hesitation. Politicians. Police. Rivals. Journalists. He never questioned orders. Never showed mercy. Until the day Pablo handed him a photo of a 6-year-old boy and ordered him to kill the child. For the first time in his career, Popeye said three words that shocked everyone in the room: "No lo hago" (I won't do it). What happened next reveals the one line even Pablo Escobar's deadliest assassin wouldn't cross, and how those three words might have saved not just the child's life, but reminded Pablo Escobar that he was a father too. This is the true story of the moment a killer found his conscience, told with every detail from Popeye's own interviews before his death in 2020.
