He had six siblings – he was the third born. He spent his childhood in Medellin, and it was as a teenager that he turned to crime. Some sources say he would sell stolen gravestones, then sand, to local smugglers.

Over time, he met other petty criminals, including Oscar Benel Aguirre, and they began stealing cars and selling them, while selling contraband cigarettes and other illegal goods.

However, as his disagreements with the government escalated, he was solely responsible for the left-wing guerrilla attack on the Colombian Supreme Court. His supporter, Luis Carlos Galan, died, and once Cesar Gaviria was chosen as Columbia’s new president, Pablo’s troubles grew.

Pablo Escobar was buried in Cemetario Jardines Montesacro in Itagüí, just south of Medellín, where he grew up. Buried next to his family, his funeral was attended by more than 25,000 people. The Colombian working class still considers him a hero and often visits his grave.
