5 Musicians Killed in Mexico Cartel Attack
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Five members of the Mexican band Grupo Fugitivo were brutally murdered in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, after being kidnapped en route to a performance on May 25. Tamaulipas Attorney General Irving Barrios Mojica confirmed nine alleged Gulf Cartel members have been arrested in connection with the killings, with authorities seizing nine firearms and two vehicles during the operation. The victims, aged 20-40, had reportedly received ransom demands before their deaths.

The band specialized in corridos—a traditional Mexican genre sometimes linked to cartel culture—though investigators remain uncertain if their music provoked the attack or if they were collateral damage in the region’s drug war. Reynosa, a hotspot for Gulf Cartel activity, borders Texas and is under a U.S. State Department Level 4 “Do Not Travel” advisory due to rampant kidnappings and gun battles.

5 Musicians Killed in Mexico Cartel Attack

The Trump administration had previously designated the Gulf Cartel a terrorist organization, and recent U.S. embassy alerts highlight the group’s stranglehold on the Reynosa-Nuevo Laredo corridor. “Local law enforcement has limited capacity to respond,” noted the advisory, underscoring the cartel’s unchecked violence.

This massacre has worsened the concerns about cartels targeting musicians, following similar attacks on artists performing narcocorridos. With the Gulf Cartel dominating Tamaulipas, the case has exposed Mexico’s struggle to protect civilians—and artists—in regions where criminal networks operate with near-total impunity.
