On June 23, Mexican singer Yrma Lydya, 21, was allegedly shot and died in a restaurant by her husband, 79-year-old Jes Hernández Alocer. Mexico’s security secretary, Omar Garca Harfuch, said that the lawyer shot Lydya three times. Alcocer and another lady who was accompanying him were seized after the incident. Witnesses reported seeing a dispute between a gray-haired guy and a young lady. Following the dispute, the guy shot the lady, and it was subsequently revealed that the man was Alcocer, and the woman was his wife, Lydya.
Soon after the incident, paramedics came at the restaurant and attempted to resuscitate Yrma Lydya, who apparently had no vital signs. The Mexican singer was killed by gunshot wounds. Meanwhile, the singer’s 79-year-old husband attempted to leave in his vehicle but was apprehended by police. Alcocer even attempted to bribe officers in order to avoid arrest. It is worth mentioning that Alcocer has already been accused of extortion.

Everything about Yrma Lydya
Yrma Lydya, who was born in 2001, was a well-known musician, dancer, and actor. She was the daughter of Carlos Quinones, a well-known Mexican businessman who founded Group Radio Comunicacion, SA in 1960. According to sources, she became interested in music at a young age. She wasn’t a well-known name at first. Her major break came in 2017, when she got to perform El Viejo del Sombrero with Lucho Argain’s Sonora Dinamita at an event.
During the national holidays, Lydya featured on a special edition of the Canal de las Estrellas. She has also appeared in the films Reventon Musical, Bandamax, and Noche con Carlos Cuevas. She was subsequently asked to perform in a few concerts by the GranDiosas cast.
In response to the invitation, she stated:
“It is an honor for me to share the stage with these great vocalists that I have adored since I was a youngster; being a member of GRANDIOSAS is a dream come true for me since singing and learning from these Goddesses is a wonderful unbelievable luxury that I am now performing.”
Lydya worked with numerous artists during her career, and she was even awarded the National Culture Award by the Mexican Chamber of Deputies. Before her death, she was singing at Grandiosas, which included prominent singers such as Mara Conchita Alonso, Alicia Villarreal, and others.
Crime in Mexico is on the rise.
Gender-based violence has surged in Mexico, according to numerous sources, leading to an increase in crime. When questioned about it, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador stated it was the fault of previous President Felipe Calderon. Obrador earlier ordered the release of a Sinaloa cartel head in order to reduce violence. He added that his administration has no plans to imprison drug cartel leaders and has even implemented a program known as ‘hugs, not bullets.’
