Alfredo Olivas. The renowned Mexican singer-songwriter Alfredo Olivas is in mourning and distress after reports of the alleged death of his cousin during a violent armed attack at a taco shop.

The incident occurred on the night of Monday, August 10, in the municipality of Zapopan, Jalisco, when an armed group burst into a food establishment located in the La Cima neighborhood.

According to media outlets such as Reporte Índigo and El Heraldo de México, the aggression left a tragic toll of two people dead and several injured.

Among the fatal victims was identified Jesús Aarón Olivas Cázares, reported as the first cousin of the performer of hits like El paciente and El problema, while another relative of the artist was also reportedly injured at the scene.

The violent aggression at the taco shop

The attack occurred around 9:00 p.m. at a taco shop located at the intersection of Avenida Federalistas and Doctor Ángel Leaño.

According to preliminary reports released by the press, several armed individuals got out of three trucks, entered the establishment, and opened fire directly at the people gathered at a table.

After the report of the shots, paramedics from Cruz Verde and security corporations arrived at the scene to assist the affected individuals.

At the scene, the death of two men was confirmed, whose identities and bodies were transferred by personnel from the Instituto Jalisciense de Ciencias Forenses for the corresponding legal proceedings.

Alfredo Olivas: Investigations and the Background Surrounding the Family

Faced with the gravity of the events, the Jalisco State Attorney’s Office initiated investigation files to clarify the motive for the attack and locate the perpetrators, who managed to escape in the vehicles they arrived in.

So far, the authorities have not reported any arrests in connection with this shooting.

This new blow adds to the tragic background of violence that has marked the environment of the Sonoran singer in previous years in the same Jaliscan municipality.

It is worth recalling the murder of his brother Iván Alejandro in 2021 and the attacks suffered by his father in 2018. As of the closing of this edition, the artist has not made any official statement on his social media accounts.
