Mexican singer Eduin Caz, frontman of the regional Mexican band Grupo Firme, was named in a threatening narco banner discovered in Tijuana, Baja California, according to Mexican authorities and local media reports. The message warned the singer to "stick to music" and accused him of intervening on behalf of an individual identified in the banner.
The banner was found late on May 29 hanging from a pedestrian bridge along Tijuana's busy Vía Rápida Poniente. Authorities removed the message and opened an investigation into those responsible. The threat was directed primarily at members of Baja California's State Citizen Security Force (FESC), but it also included a direct warning to Caz.
