Country star Kevin Hernandez is shot dead along with his entire family in hail of 150 bullets in horror highway ambush
COUNTRY STAR Kevin Hernandez was brutally murdered along with his entire family in a bloodbath ambush.
Kevin Amalio Hernandez and wife Marisela Sandoval were found dead on highway after their pick-up truck was pierced with 150 bullets.
The Mexican singer’s body was discovered inside a Chevrolet Malibu truck riddled with bullets in Chihuahua on May 5.
Marisela’s corpse was found on the road beside a 1979 Ford truck’s passenger door.
The couple’s 17-year-old son died the next day at the hospital from the gunshot wounds he received.
Their other two children, aged 14 and four, were rushed to the medical facility alongside their maternal grandmother.
They are all believed to be recovering from their bullet wounds, according to local media.
The family’s pick-up trucks were ambushed and shot to pieces as they drove in convoy through the region.
In an eerie twist of fate, Hernandez’s new song titled “If God Takes Me With Him” was released a day after the bloody massacre.
The lyrics, translated from Spanish, say: “If God takes me with him you should not feel afraid, I will be protecting you, I will follow your steps, because this love is eternal.”
Hernandez made a name for himself with country band H Nortena and toured the state of Chihuahua with a programme of live concerts.
The Mexican music community poured in their tributes for the late artist, expressing their heartbreak over the tragic loss.
Fellow band member Luis Fernando Peinado, known as El Dolar, said: “Tomorrow this song will sound loud to the sky, the latest recording comes out tomorrow, life is fragile.”
The police are investigating the details of the savage attack.
