According to Radio Caracol and two newspapers, El Espectador and El Tiempo, two gunmen on motorcycles unleashed a fatal hail of gunfire as she walked out of a butcher shop in Medellin, her hometown.
Its surprising to all of us that she had not been killed sooner because she made a lot of enemies, former Miami homicide detective Nelson Andreu, who investigated her, said late Monday. When you kill so many and hurt so many people like she did, its only a matter of time before they find you and try to even the score.
Blanco was arrested in 1985 in a cocaine trafficking case in New York, and she was released in 1998 to Florida authorities. She pleaded no contest in October 1998 to three counts of second-degree murder.
Police estimated she was involved in at least 40 homicides between Miami and New York. She is credited with importing to Miami the concept of the motorcycle assassin killers on bikes who sprayed their victims with machine-gun bullets.
