Who Was The Murdered Singer That Refused To Perform At Ovidio Guzman-Lopez's Wedding?

By Socalj 12/26/2021 11:34:00 AM

Recently, as reported by HEARST on Borderland Beat, the US increased sanctions and rewards on the sons of El Chapo, known as Los Chapitos and the Guzman-Lopez brothers of the Sinaloa Cartel. The usual list of drug trafficking, production and violence is included in the announcements. But a previously unknown piece of information was added as well, that Ovidio Guzman Lopez ordered the death of a popular Mexican singer who had refused to sing at his wedding.

Ovidio Guzmán-López is a high-ranking member of the Sinaloa Cartel and the son of former Sinaloa Cartel leader Joaquín Guzmán-Loera. Law enforcement investigations indicate Ovidio and his brother, Joaquín Guzmán-López, function in high-level command and control roles of their own drug trafficking organization, the Guzmán-López Transnational Criminal Organization, under the umbrella of the Sinaloa Cartel.

The Guzmán-López brothers began their narcotics trafficking careers early by inheriting relationships from their deceased brother, Edgar Guzmán-López. Following Edgar’s death in 2008, Ovidio and Joaquín inherited a great deal of the narcotics proceeds and began investing large amounts of the cash into the purchasing of marijuana in Mexico and cocaine in Colombia. They also began purchasing large amounts of ephedrine from Argentina and arranged for the smuggling of the product into Mexico as they began to experiment with methamphetamine production, producing an estimated 3,000- 5,000 pounds of methamphetamine per month.

Other information indicates that Ovidio Guzmán-López has ordered the murders of informants, a drug trafficker, and a popular Mexican singer who had refused to sing at his wedding. It is believed he is married to his long time partner, Adriana Meza Torres as the couple have been seen in several photos together over the years.
