Few leads in killings of Mexican singers

Investigators are still collecting evidence in the case, but so far have “nothing, nothing, nothing,” said Magdalena Guzman, who speaks for the Michoacan state prosecutors office. Local newspapers report that 90 percent of the state’s gangland-style killings this year remain unsolved and that no suspects have even been identified.

And so it goes here, amid the underworld struggles that now seem to bleed into nearly every facet of Mexican public life.

Authorities also appear to have no new leads, and have made no arrests, in the Saturday slaying of singer Zayda Peña in the border city of Matamoros, across the Rio Grande from Brownsville.”*
