Reyes was shot while with Union Magdalena club teammate Luis Diaz Asprilla, who is receiving treatment in hospital after he was also shot three times.
Police have yet to identify the person who attacked the players, who were reported to be in a hair salon in Gaira, Santa Marta, when the incident took place.
According to local police, the motives are currently unclear, with both players apparently not receiving any threats.
