what does 'cayo un grande' mean?

It could be like Gekkosan says or with tilde
cayó grande
which could mean that a big one fell like in biting the dust or someone fell for it.
Un grande is someone important, a big fish, like Bin Laden or Gadaffi.
Cayó is the past tense for caer, to fall. So I would say something as:
A big fish has fallen.
"Cayó": fell. "Cayo" (with no tilde), means a small island, a key or cay.
Much as Luis and others have noted, it would seem to mean simply, "A great one fell," in any number of contexts, ie., a great (sports) figure loses, a great team loses, a political figure loses an election or, literally, someone of note takes a public tumble as here:
If you were in Vegas, it might be Spanglish for you "dropped a bundle" or lost a grand.
Maybe "he fell far"? With what you have, I am not sure if you will receive the answer you need.
