Mexican Musician and Family Killed in Shooting at Mexico City PenthousePreviousNext

Mexican musician Jonathan Melendez, his pregnant wife Ana Paola, their 3-year-old daughter, a domestic worker, and the family dog were found shot dead in their upscale penthouse near Mexico City. The victims were bound with duct tape, and the three-year-old was shot at close range. Authorities arrested two suspects, including an associate of Melendez who may have gained access through their relationship. The couple's 6-year-old son was unharmed. Melendez was a keyboardist for the indie band Camilo Septimo.
