Iguala, Gro: 3 Members of "Banda la Fiestera" Assassinated

Yaqui for Borderland Beat from: Excelsior y Imparcial
In an attempted robbery, three members of the musical group "Banda la Fiestera" were intercepted by armed men when they were heading back to Guerrero after a concert in Temacaltepec.

Three members of a musical group called “Banda la Fiestera” from Iguala, Guerrero, were killed early Monday morning in the municipality of Texcaltitlán, in the State of Mexico.

According to reports, armed men ordered the musicians from the van in which they were transported to strip them of their belongings.

The alleged perpetrators opened fire on the victims, leaving a balance of three people dead. The attackers fled the area and so far there are no detainees.

It is said that it was a direct attack and that six other people were injured, in events in the municipality of Texcaltitlán, State of Mexico.

The criminals fled in a pick-up vehicle, the area had to be protected by Public Security elements, who requested the intervention of the Ministry and the forensic experts for the removal of the bodies and take any signs of evidence.

Two of the victims were identified as Jesus and Joseph, between 24-25 years of age.

The musicians were returning from performing at the Temacaltepec fair aboard a blue Chevrolet Express van, when they were attacked by the armed men. One Tweet claims their are 4 dead.

  1. They robbed them of thier belongings, was it really necessary to kill a few. That's why citizens need to arm themselves.

  2. No one in AMLO's Mexico is safe. Random acts against innocents is accelerating. Robbing mariachi's de-instrumented. What are the crooks going to do with used trumpets and old guitars? Amazing.

    1. That’s the thing. They don’t rob them for their instruments, they rob them for their gig money. They deal in cash, get the majority of their $ after the gig. That’s a well known fact in Mexico. Even popular artists have been known to leave a gig with say 20-30k in cash. These guys know and just wait for the right moment to rob them.

    1. Yes, full agreement. Legislation needs to be passed that allows any and all people to carry fire arms, concealed or any way. The criminals carry weapons, and it is against the law, and they get away with it. The politicians need to see that allowing anyone to carry concealed weapons is the safest way for all people. This would not have occurred if the laws allowed for any and all to carry concealed weapons.

  12. Why, no mamen, there are governors to blame, specially PRD, PRI, PAN, but they are practicing crime to extort more and more federal money "from AMLO" to fund their own augmented criminality as a way to fight crime and corruption by stealing it.
