Muerte de Sergio Vega murdered after performance

Sergio Vega has been confirmed as dead after hours of speculation that the worst of scenarios may have in fact been true. Sergio Vega El Shaka hailed from Ciudad Obregon in Sonoroa, Mexico who along with his brothers found fame as musicians over twenty years of tirelessly performing. Although they had split briefly recently, they were back together and everything appeared to be back to normal and headed in the direction of more great music and personal triumphs.

Born Jose Sergio Vega Cuamea on 12 September, 1969, Vega moved the U.S. in the 1980’s which is when the musical career of he and his brothers took off when they formed Los Hermanos Vega and signed a deal with Joey records in 1989. Vega and his brothers rose up from the humblest of beginnings and maintained that same humble outlook even when success found them. Those who had the chance to know Sergio Vega all say that no matter how famous he got that he retained an outgoing and engaging personality with the innocence of child that was willing to trust people and full of compassion.

All of the details concerning the death of Sergio Vega have yet to be made public and it may remain that way for a little longer while the investigation is still open, but according to reports from a source close to the case and another close to Vega, this is a senseless case of murder committed on June 27, 2010. What is known is that Vega was on tour and did pass in Sinaloa. It is confirmed that the car he was traveling in was involved in a violent incident. El Universal reports that the incident involved an auto accident in which the occupants of the other vehicle are alleged to have shot Vega 30 times.

Jesus Tirado Camacho who operated the tour Vega was appearing on has provided the same report. It is alleged that earlier in the evening another band performing on the tour with Vega, Grupero, had received threats of violence. If there is any connection is unknown, and there has been no word on the identity of the alleged murderers of Vega or who levied threats against Grupero.

Why specifically this happened to Vega is unknown, he was not known to have been involved in anything that would evoke such violence. The only explanation anyone can come up with is that it could be possible his attackers wanted to take Vega out due to jealousy over his success, or that it could have possibly just been a sad case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Whatever the answers are, none will take away the pain for his loved ones and fans, nor will they bring him back.

To see a decent man cut down in his prime by senseless violence is a travesty. That his killers may disappear into the landscape and escape justice makes this all the worse. All anyone can do now is hope Vega finds peace he was denied in death, that his loved ones carry on keeping him always in their memory, and that the police get off their butts and actually go find his killers.
