The Saturday's killing was confirmed by Didacio Camargo, press chief for Panama's National Police. Authorities say the 33-year-old midfielder was leaving his home when a gunman shot him several times. Another two people were wounded. Henriquez was taken to a nearby public hospital, where he died. President Juan Carlos Varela condemned the killing on his Twitter account and called for authorities in Colon to hunt down those responsible.
Henriquez was a member of Panama's national team which is participating in eliminatory rounds for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. He played in the last 20 minutes of a recent game in Panama with the United States that tied 1-1.
