Vega's mistress was making love to Vega when several heavily armed members of the Jamaican Voodoo Posse burst into the apartment, seeking to kill Vega as part of the ongoing drug war between the Jamaicans and his Colombian Scorpions organization. Vega was strung up by his ankles from the ceiling and his mistress was made to watch, both still naked, as the Jamaicans ritualistically cut out his heart.
