In the video, taken by an assistant, via cell phone, you can see Olivas, accompanied by another musician, performing the song "Asi es esto” suddenly several rapid fire gunshots can be heard and Alfredito falls.The shooting action begins at 1:28 of the video.
Update: Olivas is "out of danger", the state attorney says there have no arrests in the shooting and motive remains uncertain and under investigation. The singer was transferred to an undisclosed U.S. hospital and sustained 8 gunshot wounds.
Earlier: Alfredito Olivas, the regional music singer, was shot last night during a performance in the city of Parral, Chihuahua. As of one hour ago, his condition is listed as “critical”, sustaining 2 bullet impacts two others missed the singer. A few blog reports are stating he has died.
El Diario and social media is reporting that that the shooting was the result of a jealous rage from a gunman who was inebriated. Supposedly, Olivas was flirting with the man's girlfriend. Olivas had gone down into the audience, (conversely, he brought her up on stage), then dedicated the song to the girl. Police have suspects in custody and have recovered a gun used in the attack. The shooter is reported as being Rafael Mendoza age 38.
However, last June, a manta was hung in Obregon Sonora threatening Olivas, after the murder of popular singer Tito Torbellino:
The crowd drops to the ground. The person who was killed has not been identified, three persons sustained injuries.
Proceso is reporting Olivas has died. They say he sustained 7 impacts, was then transferred to a local hospital and from there to a hospital in Los Angeles. That seems doubtful as there are many prestigious trauma centers closer to Parral but north of the border.
As usual, there are many versions of details.
