Mexico Vows Exhaustive Probe Into Killings of Two Colombian Musicians as Argentina’s Milei Battles ANDIS Scandal and Policy Blowback

The twin crises are testing state capacity and political capital across the region as governments promise swift answers.

Overview

  • Mexican authorities confirmed the bodies of Bayron Sánchez (B‑King) and Jorge Herrera (Regio Clown) were found in Cocotitlán, Estado de México, with signs of violence and an alleged message linked to La Familia Michoacana.
  • Colombia’s foreign minister pressed Mexico’s top diplomat in New York for rapid clarification of the double homicide, and Mexico pledged full cooperation through judicial channels.
  • President Claudia Sheinbaum said a disappearance case was opened in Mexico City, promised an exhaustive investigation, noted the artists were last seen on September 16 in Polanco, and asserted the case should not affect ties with Colombia.
  • In Jalisco, seven people who vanished between August 25 and 30 were released; the governor said the cases are connected and likely tied to the Esmeralda Ferrer family killings, citing a Tonalá safe house and pressure from federal and state forces.
  • In Argentina, President Javier Milei dismissed corruption accusations involving his sister Karina in the ANDIS case as “muy tontas,” while opposition leaders condemned his temporary suspension of grain retentions and moves on disability policy as a pre‑election ‘manotazo de ahogado.’
