MEXICO: Singer El Shaka Killed After Denying Death Reports.
BBC/ Singer Sergio Vega, aka El Shaka, 40, reportedly increased security measures after a number of Mexican musicians were killed. But, to no avail. He was gunned down on his way to a concert in Sinaloa. Vega was known for singing narcocorridos, songs celebrating the lives of drug barons and may have been a target for a rival gang. Hours before his death, he told the website La Oreja that reports of his murder were false. "It's happened to me for years now, someone tells a radio station or a newspaper I've been killed, or suffered an accident," Vega said.
