Julión Álvarez’s official Instagram account published a statement confirming that the regional Mexican singer was affected by a dispute between two armed groups in La Concordia, Chiapas. Likewise, it was assured that both the artist and his family are fine and that nothing more links them to the criminals than the bad luck of having been in the wrong place. Dismissing any rumors of a direct attack.
The altercation began when Julión and his family were on their way to his ranch in Chiapas, as the Mexican singer had planned to spend the New Year’s holiday with his loved ones. During the trip, the car the artist was traveling with his brother was caught in the middle of the shooting dispute.
The Secretariat of Public Security and Citizen Protection (SSyPC) of Chiapas confirmed the confrontation between unidentified armed civilians and elements of the inter-institutional group in the Benito Juarez neighborhood of the southern state municipality.
As for Julión Álvarez, the same statement insisted on ignoring speculation and waiting for the information from official media, either from the account lospasosdejulion itself or through the singer’s press team.
