Probe Into Slayings of Colombian Musicians Finds Mercedes, Property Tied to Case

Discovery of the Mercedes in Texcoco narrows a case now anchored by DNA confirmation.

Overview

  • State investigators located the Mercedes-Benz linked to the victims' final trip in Texcoco and identified a property of interest connected to the homicide inquiry.
  • Mexico City prosecutors had confirmed on September 22 that genetic profile matches identified the bodies found in Cocotitlán as Bayron “B‑King” Sánchez and Jorge “Regio Clown” Herrera.
  • Surveillance material published by reporters shows the pair leaving a Polanco gym on September 16 and traveling by car through Iztapalapa toward the State of Mexico, apparently without coercion.
  • Authorities are pursuing leads from WhatsApp messages that reference a contact called Cristofer, alias “El Comandante,” though no arrests have been announced.
  • The men were recovered on September 17 with signs of violence and a narcomensaje attributed to La Familia Michoacana, as Colombia’s consul warns of dozens of violent deaths and disappearances of Colombians in Mexico this year.
