Mexican singer Sergio Vega was murdered while on a national tour at the weekend, just hours after denying reports of his death, local media reported.
The 40-year-old singer, known as El Shaka, was driving his red Cadillac to a concert in the northern Mexican state of Sinaloa on Saturday when his car was intercepted by unidentified shooters in a truck, reports said.
His murder came just hours after he told entertainment website La Oreja that online reports of his death were wrong.
"It's happened to me for years now, someone tells a radio station or a newspaper I've been killed, or suffered an accident," said Vega.
"And then I have to call my dear mum, who has heart trouble, to reassure her."

Most likely someone in the drug cartel thought he hit a wrong note.....

Never tempt fate.
That really, really irritates him.

Any bets the shooters got his location from his post on La Oreja?

Sounds like the gunmen didn’t follow the plan: 1) Shoot the target. 2) Claim responsibility. DO NOT ALTER THE ORDER.

"It's happened to me for years now, someone tells a radio station or a newspaper I've been killed, or suffered an accident," said Vega. Hmmm, how do we know then, that this time it really happened?

His concerts are widely advertised all over Sinaloa, Sonora, etc. where they love that kind of music. They didn’t need to get his location from La Oreja, which, in any case is a gossip site and has, ahem, been know to make errors. What he did was very, very stupid: drive around Sinaloa without an armed escort. In a red Cadillac, no less.

Sounds like word of the “hit” got out before it had taken place.
