It was reported to BoxingScene.com that welterweight Williams Morelo, 26, was shot to death by the Miguel "Happy" Lora gym in Colombia on Monday. According to the details, two men approached Morelo at the entrance to gym and opened fire. Morelo ran and was shot down at a nearby alley. He was taken to a local area hospital and passed away shortly upon arriving. The two men escaped on a motocycle and police are hunting for them.

Morelo (26-7, 19KOs) last fought in May, losing a decision to Hector David Saldivia. Morelo is the latest in a string of deaths to hit the sport of boxing in July.
