Today’s case is about the unsolved murder of Mexican Musician Chalino Sanchez who was handed his own death note, live on stage. Later that night, Chalino was kidnapped by alleged Police and by the morning, he’d be found dead.


Chalino Sanchez was crowned the King of Corridos and is the idol of many musicians today, including Peso Pluma, who in 2023 went viral after receiving his own death note. 


The message warned Peso Pluma that if he performed his upcoming concert in Tijuana, it would be his last. It had been sent by a Cartel over his song ‘El Gavilán’, that he’d made with Luis R Conriquez and Tony Aguirre. The lyrics complimented El Chapo, which enraged the cartel.


But after Peso Pluma received a death note over a bad lyric, theories behind Chalino’s unsolved murder were re-ignited across the internet. 


Corrido music is about love, hardship and crime. Narcocorrido is specifically about the life of narcos. Chalino Sanchez lived a crazy life full of revenge, drug trafficking, coyotes, and music. And it’s Chalino’s music that may be the reason for his early death. 


Decades on Chalino’s music has millions of fans and plays on Spotify, with his image being blasted across the Coachella Mainstage in 2023 thanks to Peso Pluma.
