Paulo Sergio Gómez Sánchez (2 June 1973 – 2 December 2007), better known as Sergio Gómez, was a Mexican singer who was the founder and lead vocalist of the duranguense group K-Paz de la Sierra.
Biography
He was born in the city of Ciudad Hidalgo, Michoacán in 1973. In 2003, while working in the city of Chicago in the United States, he created K-Paz De La Sierra with other native Mexicans also working in Chicago. Gomez lived in Avon, Indiana, just west of Indianapolis.[1]
Death
Following a concert in the state of Michoacán, a group of gunmen abducted Gómez and several other vocalists while traveling in a car in the early hours of a Sunday morning. The other passengers were later released, but Gómez's dead body was found on Morelia's outskirts, bearing signs of torture.[2] His body was severely beaten, with bruises all over his chest and abdomen; his face was burned with an unknown substance, and presented signs of strangling.[3] Early evidence suggests that the murder might have been premeditated as Sergio had been warned not to play in the city of Morelia, a stronghold for drug related gangs.[4]
On 6 December 2007 Gómez, as well as another murdered Mexican musician, Valentín Elizalde, were nominated posthumously for the Grammy Awards.[5]
