After a brief lull in violence, yet another regional Mexican musician has been murdered in Mexico. Marcos Félix Bojórquez, 30, accordionist for Los Cardenales de Sinaloa, was shot nine times early Saturday morning (Oct. 31) when the group returned from a gig in Sinaloa.
Mexican police reports said Bojórquez was in a car with his bandmates when they were intercepted by armed men who specifically asked for Bojórquez to step out of the car, according to Mexican news site Proceso. When he did, he was shot nine times.
His bandmates were allowed to go their way, but Bojorquez’s body was dumped in a ditch. According to Mexican newspaper El Debate, Bojórquez’s body was found the next morning next to his hat. He was still wearing Cardenales’ red uniform and black boots.
