Overview
- Francisco “Pancho” Pérez, known locally as the original ‘Medio Metro’ of El Alto, was discovered Monday morning in a canal/barranca in San Sebastián de Aparicio, Puebla.
- Family members identified the body, aided by distinctive tattoos, and Grupo Súper T confirmed his death in a public condolence message.
- The Puebla state prosecutor’s office opened a case and transferred the remains to forensic services for a necropsy to determine the cause and circumstances.
- Initial reports noted head injuries and signs of violence, and some outlets alleged gunshot wounds, but officials have not released an official cause of death.
- Social media confusion persisted over which performer had died because multiple artists use the ‘Medio Metro’ name, and the deceased is not the better-known dancer from León linked to Sonido Pirata.
