Carlos "Kukín" Flores Murillo (August 4, 1974 – February 17, 2019) was a Peruvian Footballer who played for several Clubs. Early Childhood Carlos Flores was born in ‘Los Barracones’ in Callao, Peru and during his childhood he lived in Chucuito, Castilla, La Perla, Ciudad del Pescador, Atahualpa and the human settlement Canada.
