The autopsy footage of Valentin Elizalde was posted on Youtube, and his supporters are seeking information about his demise.
On Wednesday, it was revealed that three employees of the mortuary on the border of Reynosa have confessed to uploading a video containing the autopsy findings of Valentin Elizalde.
While returning from his performance in Reynosa across from McAllen, Texas on Nov 25, Valentin was with his manager and driver when he was killed in a hail of gunfire.
A video displaying Valentin’s bloodstained body during the autopsy process was uploaded on Youtube on Friday. Lasting for a minute, the video depicts him still clothed and in boots after his performance and features unidentified individuals laughing in the background.
Bolivar Hernandez, the chief of police in Reynosa, stated, “Julio Martinez, Hector Lara, and Nicolas Martinez, employees of Valle de la Paz funeral home, admitted to capturing photographs and videos of Elizalde’s body. They have acknowledged their involvement in this disgraceful incident.” He further confirmed that authorities are considering a potential prosecution of the perpetrators.
Elizalde tragically passed away after leaving the annual fair in Reynosa, closing his show with his final song, “A Mis Enemigos,” or “To My Enemies.”
It is worth noting that the same song appeared in a Youtube video released three months prior, showcasing individuals who perished due to drug abuse or drug-related violence. The video concluded with images of Sinaloa state mobster Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman holding a baby in one arm and an automatic rifle in the other.
Despite suspicions that individuals in the video were affiliated with drug traffickers, authorities clarified that there was no indication of their involvement.
Violence has escalated at the border of certain regions in Mexico due to confrontations between the Sinaloa and Gulf cartels, as they vie for control over the lucrative route to the United States for potential smuggling activities.
