Only a week after US singer Christina Grimmie was shot in Orlando, another singer from The Voice has been shot, this time in Chicago.

Alejandro “Jano” Fuentes, who appeared on The Voice in Mexico in 2011, died on Saturday after being shot in a vehicle. Fuentes had been celebrating his 45th birthday with friends when someone walked up, showed him a gun and told him to get out.

When he wouldn’t get out of the car, the gunman fired multiple shots, hitting him in the head.

Police initially said he had been pronounced dead soon after the shooting, but was placed on life support so relatives could arrive from Mexico.

Fuentes opened a performing arts studio in Chicago which taught young people singing, dancing, acting and modelling. He was shot on the same block as the studio, which also served as his home.

Police said no one was in custody as yet.

A week ago US singer Christina Grimmie, who finished third on The Voice US in 2014, was signing autographs at Orlando’s Plaza Live Theater, when a man carrying two guns walked up and shot her.
