Mystery as entire band VANISHED while heading to concert... and their phones all stopped working
Five band members and their driver mysteriously vanished while heading to play a private concert in Mexico after performing the night before. Los Juniors de Monterrey were among five bands who headlined a Father's Day show on Sunday at La Kaprishosa bar in Guadalupe, a city in the state of Nuevo León, 90 minutes south of the Texas border. A video posted by bassist Luis Dominguez, 23, shortly after midnight showed several bandmates holding their instruments in an area at the bar. On Monday around 3am, bassoonist Óscar Pérez, 24, took to Instagram to share a video appearing to show them waiting on the side of a road in the municipality of General Terán as someone adjusted a rope on top of their 2018 Suburban. 'Oh, just technical problems,' a chuckling Pérez could be heard saying in the background. That's the last anyone heard from the bandmates. The Attorney General's Office of Nuevo León identified the missing men as Domínguez; Pérez; vocalist Abraham Ontiveros, 23; drummer Leonardo Rubio, 33; backup accordionist Francisco Alfaro, 18; and driver Lorenzo Martínez, 40, the driver. The band's regular accordionist, Fernando Martínez, was not with the group on Sunday, according to local outlets. Martínez said that calls made to the phones of all five musicians and the driver had gone unanswered. He also revealed that the group had been hired to play the private show by a person they had previously met while performing at a nightclub. 'New clients come out at every club, and that guy was the one who called, and well, he's not a regular customer, and he confirmed to us that they didn't come to the event,' Martínez explained. Ontiveros' mother, Karla Leal, said that the last contact she had with him was at 2:30am, when he shared his location on a road in the town of Cadereyta Jiménez. 'They went to cover a client's event. We don't know if it's a new client or a regular one,' Leal said. On Tuesday, the band members suddenly reappeared - with no explanation for their whereabouts. 'The young people from the Los Juniors de Monterrey group are well and with their families,' Nuevo León Governor Samuel García wrote in an X post on Tuesday. García did not provide any further details. At 18 years old, Francisco Alfaro is the youngest member of Los Junior's de Monterrey and served as the band's substitute accordionist Lorenzo Martínez was driving the musical group's 2018 Suburban when the band suddenly disappeared The Mexican regional group's disappearance came nearly one month after four members of the music band Grupo Fugitivo and their manager were kidnapped and killed. The band members were traveling to scheduled private event in the border city Reynosa when their SUV was intercepted the evening of May 25. The tortured bodies of band members Francisco Vázquez, 20; Víctor Garza, 21; José Morales, 23; and Nemesio Durán; 40; and Livan Solís, 27, who was the group's manager and photographer, were located on a ranch May 28. Nine suspects believed to be part of Los Metros, a faction of the Gulf Cartel, which has strong presence in Reynosa, were arrested, according to the Tamaulipas Attorney General's Office.
