Jesús Norberto Cárdenas Velázquez, popularly known as Chuy Montana, has been shot dead. The young man's body was found with signs of violence and while he remained handcuffed.
He had become popular on social media for singing his own corrido compositions lying down at the San Ysidro checkpoint, one of the busiest daily border crossing routes into the United States. Just a few days ago, last Monday, Jesús Ortiz, leader of Fuerza Regida and owner of Street Mob Records, had been arrested for allegedly trying to bring marijuana from the U.S. to Mexico.
