Juan Acosta

Juan Acosta (1927-18 September 1989) was a Cuban-American lawyer in the service of the Los Muchachos cartel in Miami during the 1980s. He laundered millions for drug lords Willy Falcon and Sal Magluta before agreeing to testify against his bosses during their 1989 indictment. On 18 September 1989, he was gunned down by Colombian hitman Juan Carlos Correa (aided by Javier Cadena, Manuel Mattos, and Gregorio Tuberquia) just days before he was supposed to talk to the grand jury.
