US singer who appeared on The Voice has been shot dead less than a week after Christina Grimmie was killed
Alejandro "Jano" Fuentes, 45, was shot three times in the head on Thursday and died in hospital yesterday
A SINGER who appeared on the Mexican version of The Voice has been shot dead - just days after a star on the US show was killed in the same way.
Alejandro "Jano" Fuentes died yesterday in an ambush while celebrating his birthday with friends.
The 45-year-old, from Chicago, US, was shot three times in the head late Thursday outside his Tras Bambalinas School on Chicago's South West side.
It comes just days after Christina Grimmie, who appeared on the US version of the show, was killed.
Authorities say a man shot her while she was signing autographs after a performance in Orlando, Florida. The man then killed himself.
Fuentes got into his car with friends and an armed man suddenly ordered Fuentes out of that vehicle and shot him.
Police said they had no suspects in the attack.
WGN television said police were investigating whether the shooting was an attempted carjacking or a robbery.
Friends of Fuentes in Chicago said they were holding a vigil and memorial for the singer at his studio in Chicago on Saturday evening.
