A Mexican singer has been shot dead in the north-western state of Sina-LOa, just hours after denying he’d been murdered. Sergio Vega, known as ‘El Shaka’ was on his way to a concert, when the incident happened. The gunmen fired at his car, making the singer lose control of his vehicle. Earlier, Vega posted a message saying he’d increased personal security after a growing number of musicians were killed in Mexico.
