Octavio Muciño Valdés (14 May 1950 – 3 June 1974) was a Mexican professional footballer who played as a centre-forward and midfield for Cruz Azul and Guadalajara as well as the Mexico national football team.

Muciño was born in Jasso, Hidalgo where he played in Cruz Azul's youth academy until his debut with the senior team in 1969. During his time at Cruz Azul, Muciño won 3 league titles and 2 continental cups. His only season with Guadalajara, he managed to become the team's top goal scorer with 15 goals. At the time of his death, Muciño was regarded as a key player for the Mexico national football team alongside Enrique Borja. Along with Borja, Muciño is often cited to be one of the greatest Mexican forwards of his generation.{{Cite web|url=https://www.milenio.com/deportes/futbol/octavio-mucino-idolo-cruz-azul-vivio-parpadeo|title=Octavio Muciño, el ídolo de Cruz Azul que vivió un parpadeo|website=www.milenio.com|date=6 March 2021 }}{{Cite web|url=https://www.futbolsapiens.com/mas-sapiens/mejor-jugador-mexicano-de-los-70s/|title=Mejor jugador mexicano de los 70's|first=Jesús|last=Asturiano|date=September 19, 2015}}{{Cite web|url=https://speakersmexico.com/conferencistas/enrique-borja/|title=Enrique Borja » El Primer Banco de Talentos en México|access-date=28 June 2021|archive-date=19 December 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221219201857/https://speakersmexico.com/conferencistas/enrique-borja/|url-status=dead}}

In the early hours of 31 May 1974 Muciño was shot 3 times outside of a restaurant by 32-year old Jaime Antonio Muldoon Barreto, an engineer with whom he had a physical confrontation earlier in the evening. Muciño succumbed to his injuries and died 3 days later at a hospital in Guadalajara. Muldoon Barreto left for Europe shortly after and never stood trial for the murder when he returned to Mexico years later. Muldoon Barreto's freedom is widely attributed to his family's high status and ties with the government of Jalisco.{{Cite web|url=https://www.eluniversal.com.mx/universal-deportes/futbol/recuerdan-el-doloroso-caso-de-la-muerte-del-centavo-mucino|title=Cruz Azul: Recuerdan la dolorosa muerte del 'Centavo' Muciño|date=March 20, 2021|website=El Universal}}

In 1973, Muciño was transferred to C.D. Guadalajara for a fee of about 1 million pesos.{{cite web |title=Cuando la tragedia sacudió a Cruz Azul: así fue el asesinato de una de sus figuras |url=https://www.infobae.com/america/deportes/2021/05/07/cuando-la-tragedia-sacudio-a-cruz-azul-asi-fue-el-asesinato-de-una-de-sus-figuras/|website=infobae|date=7 May 2021 }}

The team had been undergoing poor performances in the league for a number of seasons at this point, ending the 1973–74 season 11th on the general table.{{Cite web|url=https://www.espn.com.mx/noticias/nota/_/id/2252726/chivas-cerca-de-la-historia-de-los-70-cuando-estuvo-al-borde-del-descenso|title=Chivas cerca de repetir su historia de los 70|date=December 12, 2014|website=ESPN.com.mx}} In spite of this, Muciño established himself as a fan favorite and key player, netting 15 goals in 26 games becoming the team's top goal scorer.{{Cite web|title=Aporte de juventud y goles al Rebaño|url=https://www.chivasdecorazon.com.mx/es/noticias/27073/Aporte-de-juventud-y-goles-al-Rebao|access-date=2021-07-17|website=www.chivasdecorazon.com.mx}}

Death

=Murder=

At approximately 11 on night of 30 May 1974, Muciño met with 3 friends and their dates at Carlos O' Willys, a fine dining restaurant frequented by wealthy patrons located in Guadalajara.{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1977/04/03/archives/guadalajara-the-biggest-small-town-in-the-world-guadalajara-the.html|title=Guadalajara: 'The Biggest Small Town in the World'|first=James|last=Kelly|newspaper=The New York Times|date=April 3, 1977}} A few tables away from where Muciño's party was situated, sat 32-year-old Jaime Antonio Muldoon Barreto.{{Cite web|url=https://revisionesgdl.com/2021/03/22/ramon-corona-181-edificio-mulbar/|title=Ramón Corona 181 – Edificio Mulbar|first=Revisiones|last=GDL|date=March 22, 2021}}{{Cite web|url=https://faroviejo.com.mx/2009/04/tapatio-conoce-a-tu-ciudad-trivia/|title=Tapatio ¿Conoce a tu ciudad? -Trivia-|first=Faro|last=Viejo|date=April 26, 2009|website=faroviejo.com.mx}}{{Cite web|url=https://revisionesgdl.com/2019/09/20/los-edificios-que-guadalajara-extrana-parte-2/|title=Los Edificios Que Guadalajara Extraña – Parte 2|first=Revisiones|last=GDL|date=September 20, 2019}}{{Cite book|last=Pérez López|first=Abraham|url=https://cronistadehidalgo.com.mx/13.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160914090358/http://cronistadehidalgo.com.mx/13.pdf|url-status=usurped|archive-date=14 September 2016|title=Diccionario biográfico hidalguense: H-P|publisher=Gobierno del Estado de Hidalgo|year=1979|isbn=978-607-7866-07-7|location=Matías Romero, Oaxaca, C.P.|language=es}} Muldoon Barreto was described to be in an inebriated state. Purportedly a fan of Guadalajara's rival team Atlas, Muldoon Barreto recognized Muciño and walked towards his table and began to discuss football with him. Eventually, Muldoon Barreto began to antagonize and hurl insults towards Muciño and his date which escalated into a physical altercation between the two men. The two were broken up by fellow patrons and Muldoon Barreto was thrown out of restaurant. Approximately an hour and a half later, Muciño and his group left the restaurant. Muldoon Barreto was inside a luxury car near the entrance of the restaurant, apparently waiting for Muciño to exit. Muciño wishing to make peace with Muldoon Barreto, extended his hand for a handshake. Muldoon Barreto, however, immediately shot Muciño point-blank 3 times with a .25 ACP, once in the head, thorax, and shoulder. Muldoon Barreto then sped away from the area evading capture. Muciño was taken to Hospital México Americano where he was in a coma for 3 days. At approximately 5:30 on the morning of 3 June 1974, Muciño died from his injuries.{{Cite web|url=https://vamoscruzazul.bolavip.com/noticias/Octavio-Mucino-leyenda-de-Cruz-Azul-que-murio-a-los-24-anos-20210223-0009.html|title=Leyendas: Octavio Muciño, el delantero carismático que asesinaron en Guadalajara|first=Vamos|last=Azul|website=Vamos Cruz Azul|date=23 February 2021 }}{{Cite web|url=https://elfutbolito.mx/columnas/lesiones-y-tragedia-en-el-rebano/|title=Lesiones y tragedia en el Rebaño|first=Alberto|last=Dominguez}}{{Cite web|url=https://es-us.deportes.yahoo.com/noticias/recuerdan-doloroso-caso-muerte-centavo-060000814.html|title=Recuerdan el doloroso caso de la muerte del "Centavo" Muciño|website=es-us.deportes.yahoo.com|date=20 March 2021 }}{{Cite web|url=https://www.zocalo.com.mx/la-violencia-les-arrebata-la-vida/|title=La violencia les arrebata la vida}}

=Aftermath=

News of Muciño's death quickly spread and shocked the city of Guadalajara and Mexico City. Angered football fans vandalized and attempted to set fire to Carlos O' Willys. Thousands of fans attended Muciño's funeral held in Jasso, Hidalgo, where he was subsequently buried.{{cite news |title=Cuando la tragedia sacudió a Cruz Azul: así fue el asesinato de una de sus figuras |url=https://www.infobae.com/america/deportes/2021/05/07/cuando-la-tragedia-sacudio-a-cruz-azul-asi-fue-el-asesinato-de-una-de-sus-figuras/ |access-date=1 July 2021 |agency=Infobae |date=7 May 2021}}{{cite news |last1=Valdés |first1=Apolo |title=¿Quién era Octavio "Centavo" Muciño"? |url=https://lanoticia.com/quien-era-octavio-centavo-mucino/ |access-date=18 September 2021 |publisher=La Noticia |date=27 January 2021}}

According to Muciño's son, a month or two after the murder occurred, Jaime Antonio Muldoon Barreto left Mexico for Spain, where there did not exist an extradition treaty between the two countries. When he returned to Mexico in 1980, Muldoon Barreto's lawyers cited poor mental faculties as reason he was unfit to stand trial. Muldoon Barreto was subsequently never prosecuted for Muciño's murder and remained free.

Jaime Antonio Muldoon Barreto (born 1942) was a mechanical-electrical engineer who belonged to a wealthy architecture and real estate family based in Guadalajara.{{Cite web|url=https://revisionesgdl.com/2021/03/22/ramon-corona-181-edificio-mulbar/|title=Ramón Corona 181 – Edificio Mulbar|first=Revisiones|last=GDL|date=March 22, 2021}}{{Cite web|url=https://revisionesgdl.com/2019/09/20/los-edificios-que-guadalajara-extrana-parte-2/|title=Los Edificios Que Guadalajara Extraña – Parte 2|first=Revisiones|last=GDL|date=September 20, 2019}}{{Cite book|last=Pérez López|first=Abraham|url=https://cronistadehidalgo.com.mx/13.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160914090358/http://cronistadehidalgo.com.mx/13.pdf|url-status=usurped|archive-date=14 September 2016|title=Diccionario biográfico hidalguense: H-P|publisher=Gobierno del Estado de Hidalgo|year=1979|isbn=978-607-7866-07-7|location=Matías Romero, Oaxaca, C.P.|language=es}} Muldoon Barreto graduated from Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education in 1967.{{Cite web|url=https://www.buholegal.com/146444/|title=JAIME ANTONIO MULDOON BARRETO - Cédula Profesional|website=www.buholegal.com}} Muldoon Barreto's freedom is widely attributed to the influence and power possessed by the Muldoon Barreto family in the Mexican government.

Legacy

Despite his short career, Muciño established himself as an important figure in both Cruz Azul and Mexican football. Muciño is often cited to be one of Cruz Azul's integral players who had helped achieve the club's rapid rise to prominence in the 1970s. Along with Enrique Borja, whose career statistics rivaled that of Muciño's, he is often deemed to be one of the greatest Mexican footballers of his generation.{{Cite web|url=https://www.infobae.com/america/deportes/2021/05/07/cuando-la-tragedia-sacudio-a-cruz-azul-asi-fue-el-asesinato-de-una-de-sus-figuras/|title=Cuando la tragedia sacudió a Cruz Azul: así fue el asesinato de una de sus figuras|first=7 de Mayo|last=de 2021|website=infobae|date=7 May 2021 }}{{Cite web|url=https://isranosoychema.com/2020/12/20/leyenda-de-cruz-azul-octavio-mucino-el-centavo/|title=Leyenda de Cruz Azul Octavio Muciño "EL CENTAVO"|date=December 20, 2020}}{{Cite web|url=https://espndeportes.espn.com/futbol/mexico/nota/_/id/6797271/cruz-azul-mejor-equipo-de-liga-mx-historia-jugadores-lista-espn|title=¿Cuál ha sido el mejor equipo de Cruz Azul en la historia?|date=March 26, 2020|website=ESPNdeportes.com}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.90min.com/es/posts/3508948-respect-los-15-goleadores-historicos-de-cruz-azul|title=RESPECT: Los 15 goleadores históricos de Cruz Azul|date=July 25, 2016|website=90min.com}}{{cite web |last1=GUZMÁN |first1=GEOVANNI |title=¿Cuáles son los 5 mejores delanteros del Cruz Azul? |url=https://www.mediotiempo.com/futbol/liga-mx/cuales-son-los-5-mejores-delanteros-del-cruz-azul |website=Mediotiempo |date=16 February 2021 |access-date=18 September 2021}}
