The wave of violence against grupero musicians in Mexico continues, with a new murder making headlines. The body of Jorge Antonio Sepúlveda Armenta, 20 –a.k.a. El Koquillo de Sinaloa — was found yesterday alongside a highway in rural Sinaloa state. The cause appears to be various gunshot wounds.
Next to Sepúlveda’s body, investigators found a burned truck and several 9 millimeter and machine gun casings. His death marks the 4th murder in the grupera community in little over a month.

Another Grupero Killed in Mexico

Hot on the heels of two previous murders this week, the grupera world is mourning the loss of José Luis Aquino Lavariega, trumpet player for the band Los Condes. Mexico’s El Universal reports that José Luis was found dead near the city of Etla, Oaxaca, where he was visiting his family. Police are calling the killing an “ajuste de cuentas” — “a settling of the score”.
Earlier this week Zayda Peña, an onda grupera singer, was murdered in her hospital room in the border town of Matamoros. 24 hours later another musician, Sergio Gómez, was found dead along a highway in Morelia, Michoacán.
