Episode 161
Wednesday, 15 April, 2026

Mexican singer Chalino Sánchez rose to fame as the "King of Corrido" in the late 1980s, creating sincere ballads about drug lords, cartels, and violence that resonated deeply with fans across Mexico and Southern California. His controversial life was already marked by bloodshed, including killing a man at age 15 and surviving an onstage shooting, but his fate was sealed on May 15, 1992, when he received a mysterious, visibly unsettling note while performing his final concert in Culiacán. Hours later, after being abducted by men claiming to be police, Sánchez was found executed in an irrigation canal; to this day, the identity of his killer and the content of the cryptic note that sealed his fate remain one of Mexico's most enduring mysteries. https://allthatsinteresting.com/last-known-photographs Learn more about your ad choices.
