Sergio “El Shaka” Vega
September 12, 1969 – June 27, 2010
Sergio Vega was a popular Mexican singer who, along with his brothers, gained fame as Los Hermanos Vega after moving to Phoenix, Arizona during the ’80s. They eventually returned to Mexico and began releasing hit records under the name, Los Reyes del Norte. By 2000, Vega retired from the music business only to make a much welcomed return as a solo artist in 2004. He released several records that landed on the Billboard Latin Music charts over the next few years. Reports indicate that during the early hours of June 27, 2010, Vega and his band were traveling by vehicle in or near Sinoloa, Mexico when they were involved in a violent altercation with passengers of another vehicle. Sergio Vega, who was 40 years old, was fatally shot during the incident.
