INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - The body of a popular musician killed in a wave of entertainment-related violence in Mexico is expected to be returned today to Indiana, where he lived since 2003.
Thirty-5-year-old Sergio Gomez was killed last weekend after performing with his top-selling group, K-Paz de la Sierra, in Morelia, Mexico.
His music was popular in the United States and Mexico. 5 of the band's albums have reached the Top 10 on Billboard magazine's Latin music chart.
Visitation will be Sunday afternoon at a mortuary on Indianapolis' west side. Gomez had lived in Avon, just west of Indianapolis.
Although not known for songs glamorizing the drug business, Gomez had reportedly received death threats urging him not to appear Morelia, a hotbed of the drug trade.
Okaaaay, and just what was his status while he lived here?
Gee from the title I assumed there was an accident. Sounds like he was assassinated by the drug lords who now run Mexico.
Guess he wants to continue voting Democrat.
Ping!
If you want on, or off this S. Texas/Mexico ping list, please FReepMail me.

here’s another part of the ‘wave’
It’s a trend of the narco-terrorists in Mexico targeting musicians and tv stars, usually because they have spoken out against the drug trade and violence. Just the other day some woman singer was shot in the throat. A day later while in her hospital bed, someone came into the room and finished the job.

Freakin’ human trash ...
If the body is “returning” it’s going to take a while to zombie step that far.
If it’s returned as in the story’s text it can take transportation.
Thanks for the info. My cousins wanted me to go to Mexico for Thanksgiving. I don’t have a passport, so I declined. Nothing could get me to go there now.
Yes, that is MS-13, but they are Salvadorans, not Mexicans. The guy killed in this article was what you and I would call a cowboy.
He was born in Chicago, but travelled to Mexico alot.
Is the author of this article unable to spell “thirty-five”?
(sure hope I spelled it correctly ;-)
Wow. Those dudes are like, fabulously gay.
I’m sure they’re really violent and dangerous and all that... but seriously. Show tune city.
Bump for later.
