[edit] Death
His death is said to be related to his lyrics about Los Zetas, a mercenary force employed by the Gulf Cartel. [2]
Elizalde, his manager, Mario Mendoza, and driver, Raymundo Ballesteros, were gunned down in an ambush after a concert in the border city of Reynosa in an apparent gangland hit Saturday, November 25.
The 27-year-old Valentin Elizalde was killed about 20 minutes after performing at a local fair.
According to media reports, two vehicles chased Elizalde's black 2007 Chevrolet Suburban GMT-900 as he left the concert and opened fire with automatic weapons as dozens of witnesses looked on. As many as 70 bullet cartridges were found scattered on the street around Elizalde's car. According to media reports, Elizalde was hit as many as 28 times.
