Less then 24 hours ago, we reported on the horrific killing of Mexican singer Zayda Peña. This morning’s news brings us the killing of another popular Mexican singer, Sergio Gomez, of the K-Paz de la Sierra. The husband and father of 4 was found dead yesterday : shot, choked, and burned along a stretch of highway near Morelia, Michoacan. He was missing since Sunday, disappearing into a car heading towards Puerto Vallarta after a concert.
Sergio along with his band, K-Paz, were at the forefront of the “Pasito Duranguense” music scene.
Sergio’s death brings the death toll of musicians in Mexico up to 8. Over 1,000 lives overall have been lost. Some are calling it an epidemic related to the rise of drug trafficking in the Michoacan region.
