Overview
- State prosecutors in Puebla opened a homicide inquiry and transferred the body to the forensic service for a necropsy to determine the cause of death.
- Colleagues in Grupo Súper T and relatives identified the victim as Francisco “Pancho” Pérez, recognized locally as the Medio Metro of El Alto.
- The body was discovered on Oct. 20 in an irrigation canal in San Sebastián de Aparicio with signs of violence, with several outlets reporting gunshot wounds to the head.
- Early accounts suggested a possible hit-and-run, but authorities are reviewing surveillance footage and gathering witness statements as part of the ongoing probe.
- The death triggered online confusion because multiple performers use the “Medio Metro” name—one legally registered in 2023—while the sonidero community posted tributes and demanded justice.
