Who Was The Murdered Singer That Refused To Perform At Ovidio Guzman-Lopez's Wedding?

"Socalj" for Borderland Beat


Recently, as reported by HEARST on Borderland Beat, the US increased sanctions and rewards on the sons of El Chapo, known as Los Chapitos and the Guzman-Lopez brothers of the Sinaloa Cartel. The usual list of drug trafficking, production and violence is included in the announcements. But a previously unknown piece of information was added as well, that Ovidio Guzman Lopez ordered the death of a popular Mexican singer who had refused to sing at his wedding.




Ovidio Guzmán-López is a high-ranking member of the Sinaloa Cartel and the son of former Sinaloa Cartel leader Joaquín Guzmán-Loera. Law enforcement investigations indicate Ovidio and his brother, Joaquín Guzmán-López, function in high-level command and control roles of their own drug trafficking organization, the Guzmán-López Transnational Criminal Organization, under the umbrella of the Sinaloa Cartel. 

Sinaloa Cartel Leaders

The Guzmán-López brothers began their narcotics trafficking careers early by inheriting relationships from their deceased brother, Edgar Guzmán-López. Following Edgar’s death in 2008, Ovidio and Joaquín inherited a great deal of the narcotics proceeds and began investing large amounts of the cash into the purchasing of marijuana in Mexico and cocaine in Colombia. They also began purchasing large amounts of ephedrine from Argentina and arranged for the smuggling of the product into Mexico as they began to experiment with methamphetamine production, producing an estimated 3,000- 5,000 pounds of methamphetamine per month.

Other information indicates that Ovidio Guzmán-López has ordered the murders of informants, a drug trafficker, and a popular Mexican singer who had refused to sing at his wedding. It is believed he is married to his long time partner, Adriana Meza Torres as the couple have been seen in several photos together over the years. 


Adriana Meza Torres and Ovidio Guzman-Lopez

Adriana's father was Raul Meza Ontiveros known as "El M6" who was murdered in 2007. Her uncle is Javier Torres Félix "El JT", another member of the Sinaloa cartel, who had been imprisoned in both the United States and then in Mexico after being deported in 2013.


Brother Raul "El Mini 6" Meza Torres, killed at 18 in 2010.

Adriana Meza Torres' exact age is not known but is likely close in age to her late brother, Raul aka "Mini 6", born in 1991 and was killed by police in Jalisco in 2010 when he was 18 years old. Ovidio Guzman Lopez, the third son of El Chapo was born on March 29, 1990 and is 31 years old. She is likely younger than Ovidio, but not by much.

The date of the wedding was not disclosed by the authorities, so it may never be known exactly who the Mexican singer was, who was allegedly murdered on the orders of El Chapo’s son.




Likely the wedding would have taken place within the last couple of years as wedding rings haven't been seen in photos of the couple. This includes video of Ovidio's capture during the 'Culiacanazo' on October 17, 2019; where his hands are raised and neither show any rings.



Last year, Ovidio's half-sister, Alejandrina Gisselle Guzmán Salazar was married in an extravagant ceremony.

Likely the wedding between him and Adriana was held in private. References to Adriana as his wife go back at least a year to late 2020 so it is possible they wed after the events in Culiacan so the singer who refused to perform is likely to have been killed in recent years.

But unfortunately the list of singers who have been killed is long, between just 2019 and 2021, names include Alex Quintero, Roberto Dominguez Trejo, Néstor Valdez, Julio Verdugo and Luis Mendoza, all singers of regional Mexican music.


Nestor Valdez

On July 19, 2021, Néstor Valdez, lead singer of the band La Acelerada, died in a Mexicali hospital hours after being attacked when he was at a party in San Luis Río Colorado, in the state of Sonora.

Alex Quintero

On April 25, 2021, Alex Quintero singer of narcocorridos, was shot to death when he was at a private party, in the state of Sonora, Mexico.


Julio Verdugo

The shooting occurred on May 9, 2021 when the singer July Executioner (Julio Verdugo), 23, was attacked while driving in Culiacan. Authorities arrived at the site and found the singer dead in the driver's seat. It was detailed that investigating agents found several short weapon casings at the crime scene.


Roberto Dominguez Trejo

On August 14, 2019, the singer and vocalist of the gang of narcocorridos “The Sons of the Cartel“, identified as Roberto Dominguez Trejo was murdered in front of his family at a gas station in Tijuana.


Samuel Barraza Rivas

The night of July 16, 2019 in the parking lot of the Hippodrome Galleries square in Tijuana, Samuel Barraza Rivas was shot to death.


Luis Carlos Mendoza

On July 6, 2019, Luis Carlos Mendoza Garcia and his brother “Ronny“ Mendoza Garcia, who were part of the musical group The Ronaldos, were riddled with more than a hundred bullets in Ciudad Obregón, in the state of Sonora.

  1. Corrido singers have a dangerous career. You can be killed for refusing to sing for a boss. How do singers like El Fantasma or Los Alegres del Barranco get to sing about cartels that are at war?


    2Pac,Biggie ,Nippsy Hustle ,Pop Smoke and all the fake gangsta rappers are a bunch of girlscouts compared to the real mexican corridos singers.

    9. Juan Rambo-''How do you explain that over 60 people are shot every week in Chicago and NOBODY COMPLAINS?'' Is supposed to be a joke? Your statistics are worthless, and the only reason you don't know about the complaints and the mobilising of black people to try and prevent those shootings is cos you are too lazy to find out about it. Good God man...

    1. Not that they don't to work? Who s going to take care of her kids? Stop bashing single parents as being lazy . But you would rather pay for a meal for a coward than a single parent who's struggling. Where does she come into the picture? The article is about some guy killing a singer who doesn't sing at his party; hasn't this guy heard of sound systems.?

    1. It was Quintero as he was already in Sonora to perform when he was told to perform at Oviedo wedding as it's her fav singers. Once he refused due to prior commitments it was seen as a sign of disrespect and the Salazar's carried out the hit the same night

  5. Its not good business making corridos for cds. Then again, if they ask you to make them a song and you refuse, you get killed anyway.

  7. Im pretty sure they can afford better and well known singers, look at who sang at gisselle’s wedding. Theres a rumor he got married in his early 20’s (2010-2011) and say it was sergio vega https://youtu.be/MqFrzFg1ij8 skip to 3:30
    Theres this video where la barbie mentions sergio vega being killed for not playing for another cartel in sinaloa that it was el chapo or someone. A long time rumor is that Hector beltran and sergio vega had a “special relationship” so it does make since why he wouldnt want to go play for chapos sons wedding. But u know how rumors are, take with a pinch of salt.

  12. Murder or killed. Big difference. I often see articles that said individuals killed on a confrontation whit law enforcement as murders. If they get killed on a confrontation it should be killed and not murdered.

    1. "Other information indicates that Ovidio Guzmán-López has ordered the murders of informants, a drug trafficker, and a popular Mexican singer who had refused to sing at his wedding." From the NRP profile.

      Nothing to suggest the singer was killed by a confrontation with law enforcement.

      You, me, Solcalj, we're all just clarifying information which is a good thing.

  14. Chalino Sanchez also got murdered, he sang excellent 👍. He managed to take out his 45, during a concert and won.
    The 2nd time around he was kidnapped killed by a shot to back of head.
