Eight days after being reported missing, the vocalist of the band “Los Nuevos Coyonquis”, Jorge Alberto Márquez Bracamontes, was found dead near a bodega in Culiacán, Sinaloa.
The body was burned and was lying in a storm water stream outside the Villa Bonita subdivision, where the singer lived.
It was precisely there that Marquez Bracamontes was last seen on June 6, at around 1:00 a.m.
After his disappearance was reported, the State Attorney General’s Office was alerted to the discovery of the body of a man with bullet wounds and incinerated.
On June 12, the Sinaloa State Commission for the Search of Persons issued an alert and a location card with the necessary details to identify him, but the following day, on June 13, the results of the DNA study done on the body found near the bodega confirmed that it was Márquez Bracamontes, 51 years old.
After the death of the vocalist was confirmed, his band published on Facebook an obituary in his memory and a message that reads:
“It is with great sadness that we inform you that @jorgemarquez3028 was found dead. Unfortunately, this is a great loss for his family and us. He spent more than 25 years with us as a musician, was a great singer. You will always be great, you will always be our artist. Fly high my friend”.
The regional Mexican band said that the body of Márquez Bracamontes could take between one or two days to be delivered by the authorities. In the mean time the place for his wake will be announced.
