Facundo Cabral shot and killed in Guatemala - (non) fiction crime II

A few months ago, I wrote a post about a real crime story in Guatemala, as reported by The New Yorker. Unfortunately, a similar episode happened today.

Argentina's folk singer Facundo Cabral was shot and killed in Guatemala, in something that looks like a mob assasination:

According to firefighters at the scene two black vehicles pulled up and opened fire on the singer's white Range Rover and the beige Chevrolet Tahoe following him.

Facundo Cabral seems to have been an additional victim. According to authorities, the target of the attack was the bussinesman that had hired him to play in the country, Nicaraguan-born Henry Fariña. Fariña was with Cabral during the attack, and was seriously injured in it. This man was in charge of a chain of night-clubs in Central America, which leads to the immediate conclusion that he was probably involved in something else. Furthermore, the American ambassador has indicated that they "might" collaborate in the investigation. Again, reality is grittier than fiction.
