Valentin is Dead

Willy C.
Per.5, 6

            In November 25 of 2006, the news announced that in the city of Reynosa, Tamaulipas, two Suburban vehicles were used in a drive by, killing three persons. One of them was the famous singer Valentin Elizalde. Everyone thought that the news was lying like before, but this time was true.
         Valentin was leaving his concert in Reynosa when bullets were fired at his van killing him, his manager Mario Mendoza and the driver Raymundo Ballesteros. Valentin was hit as many as eight times. The AK47 rifles completely destroyed the singer’s van. 70 bullet cartridges of the automatic rifles were found on the street around the vehicle. They were instantly dead when they got hit.
         According to the news one of the reasons he got killed was because he sang Narco Corridos. A type of Mexican music, that is about the lords of the Mafia. The singer wrote a song honoring one of the richest people of the world “El Chapo Guzman” the leader of the Sinaloa cartel.  In this song he talked bad about the enemies of El Chapo. He just thought he wasn’t doing anything bad, he was only doing his job.
       Everyone thinks that “los Zetas” a group of mercenary forces were the ones who kill Elizalde. He sang the song in Reynosa his last perform. He just felt protected by El Chapo but he didn’t know that he was in territory of the enemies. With thousands of people in the concert, provable one of them told the Zetas that Valentin sang a song talking bad about them.
         There have been more cases like this one in Mexico. Singers have been gunned down crudely. Provable that’s what they get for getting involved with the Mafia.

  1. Very original topic Willy. One thing you need to do before you submit any essay is proofread and grammar check. There were a couple times you used words that sounded similar to the ones you meant to use, but had different meanings. For example, provable instead of probably. It would have also been helpful to learn more about Valetin Elizalde.
