Nelson Ismael Rivera Tobías (June 24, 1991 – October 3, 2010) was a Salvadoran footballer who last played as a defender for Isidro Metapan until his death.

Rivera's professional career began in January 2009 when he signed a contract with Salvadoran national league club, Juventud Independiente.[citation needed] He made his professional debut on February 18, 2009, in a league match against C.D. Atlético Balboa.[citation needed]

Death

On the night of September 18, 2010, Rivera was shot in the head after unknown gunmen attacked the car he was traveling in.[1] According to sources, Rivera was traveling with teammates Andrés Flores and Kevin Santamaria when they came under gunfire. The incident took place in El Congo, shortly after they had played a league match against UES.

A series of operations to try to remove the bullet were made, but Rivera died in an intensive care unit on the night of October 3, 2010. [2]

In the morning of October 16, 2010, the alleged killers were caught and will be charged for aggravated homicide. The Attorney General's Office confirmed through a press release from late Friday 15th and early Saturday was the capture of Victor Manuel Colorado and Daniel Sanchez both involved in the death of the young footballer.[3]
