Musicians Murdered in Mexico

(Guadalajara, Mexico) The level of lawlessness in Mexico seems beyond exaggeration.

Two musicians of the local group La Excelencia were blasted dead by audience members who were angry that they wouldn't do an encore.

Jonathan Martinez, 22, and Gustavo Alejandro, 35, were killed.

When La Excelencia's performance came to an end around 4 a.m. local time, four reportedly intoxicated and aggressive audience members demanded the musicians continue playing. Sensing trouble, the group extended its set by two songs, but was eventually forced to pull the plug by the bar's owner, according to El Occidental.

Out of nowhere, one of the instigators threw a grenade at the stage. The explosion injured one person and had panicked customers running for the exits.

Martinez and Alejandro were among those who fled the bar, but they were met at the front door by a hail of bullets, presumably from the same four men who had harassed them earlier.

The killers escaped.
