| Burrito de Belen by K-Paz de la Sierra |
Sergio Gómez, K-Paz de la Sierra's vocalist,
RIP By MARK STEVENSON, Associated Press Writer
MEXICO CITY - The tortured body of the lead singer of a popular
Mexican band was found along a highway Monday and another
singer was shot to death, police said, the latest Mexican musicians
killed in a wave of violence over the past year.
Sergio Gomez, a singer with K-Paz de la Sierra, went missing Sunday
after a concert in the Michoacan state capital of Morelia, according
to the state attorney general's office.
Gomez allegedly got into a car with three other people after the
concert and headed for Puerto Vallarta, said Magdalena Guzman,
a spokeswoman for the attorney general's office. His body was found
Monday, showing signs of choking and severe bruising on the thorax
and abdomen — as well as burns on the legs.
Guzman said it wasn't clear how Gomez died despite the signs of
choking. "The blows were so severe that they too could have been
fatal," she said.
K-Paz was the best-known band in the "Pasito Duranguense" music
scene, which features ballads played at a sped-up rhythm. Among
the group's hits was "Mas Capaces Que Nunca," or "More Capable
than Ever," for which it earned a Billboard Latin Music Award last year.
Mario Olvera, the group's manager, told The Associated Press the
singer's family identified his body Monday night. "His brothers saw the
body: It's his," Olvera said.
A lesser-known singer Zayda Pena, 28, was shot in the heart Saturday
in the city of Matamoros, across the border from Brownsville, Texas,
while recovering from a gunshot wound received on Friday, police
detective Abel Infante said Monday.
Two people with Pena were killed in the Friday shooting. No suspects were identified in her killing.
Pena headed a band known as Zayda y los Culpables — "Zayda and the Guilty Ones." One of her songs was "Tiro de
Gracia," a reference to an execution-style gunshot.
At least eight musicians have been killed in Mexico this year, including performers of the popular northern "Narcocorrido"
music whose lyrics often focus on drug trafficking and violence.
Michoacan has made headlines this year for drug-related violence, as traffickers fight over routes to transport drugs north.
K-Paz's songs, however, did not deal extensively with drug trafficking. Pena's songs were mostly romantic ballads.
On Nov. 25, 2006, Valentin Elizalde was shot to death along with his manager and driver shortly after performing across the
border from McAllen, Texas.
Last December, Javier Morales Gomez of the band Los Implacables del Norte was shot to death in a park in Michoacan.
Police have not spoken of a motive in that case.
In February, gunmen shot to death four members of the musical group Banda Fugaz after they performed in Michoacan.
Gomez will be buried in Mexico City on Tuesday, Olvera said.
