📰 Tragic End for Rising Star: Singer and Model Fede Dorcaz, 29, Gunned Down in Shocking Motorcycle Drive-By Just Moments After Leaving Dance Rehearsal for Hit Mexican TV Show
The entertainment world is reeling after the sudden and violent death of Fede Dorcaz, a 29-year-old singer and model who was shot and killed in a shocking motorcycle drive-by in Mexico City. The Argentine-born star was reportedly on his way home after rehearsals for the popular Mexican dance competition Las Estrellas Bailan en Hoy when he was ambushed and fatally wounded.
According to local authorities, Dorcaz was attacked by unknown assailants riding motorcycles, who opened fire on his vehicle in what is being investigated as a possible robbery. He was shot in the neck and died at the scene before medical help could arrive. The incident occurred in the Miguel Hidalgo district, an upscale area of Mexico City, just hours after the artist had completed a session preparing for his television debut.
The news has sent shockwaves across the Latin American entertainment industry and among fans who had followed Dorcaz’s rising career in music, modeling, and television. Dorcaz, who had only recently been announced as part of the upcoming cast of Las Estrellas Bailan en Hoy, was expected to appear on screen with his girlfriend, actress Mariana Ávila. The couple had been sharing behind-the-scenes moments from their rehearsals and appeared excited to take on the challenge together.
Ávila, devastated by the news, shared a tearful tribute on social media, writing, “My love, you didn’t deserve this. You were full of dreams, of life, of music and love. I don’t understand why the world can be so cruel. You will always be dancing with me.” The post quickly went viral, garnering thousands of messages of support and condolences.
The show’s producers also issued a statement expressing their heartbreak, describing Dorcaz as “a passionate performer and joyful soul who brought energy and dedication to every rehearsal.” They added that the upcoming season would include a tribute to him.
Fede Dorcaz had been gaining recognition for his work across Latin America, not only as a model for several high-profile campaigns but also for his unique sound blending Latin pop and reggaeton. His social media presence had grown steadily, and fans admired both his talent and his humility.
Authorities in Mexico City are currently reviewing CCTV footage and gathering witness statements in an effort to identify and capture the suspects responsible for the attack. As of now, no arrests have been made.
For many, this tragedy is yet another painful reminder of the growing violence that has impacted even public figures and artists in Mexico. Dorcaz’s death marks not just the loss of a rising star, but of a young man who had only just begun to step into his potential.
As investigations continue, fans, friends, and loved ones are left mourning a life cut far too short—and a voice silenced far too soon.
