As the 40-year old singer, known as El Shaka, drove to a concert, he was reportedly intercepted by unidentified shooters in a truck. The incident occurred only hours after he repudiated online claims of his death to entertainment website La Oreja. He said he had been a victim of such rumors in the past.

Vega recently enhanced his security after the murder of several Mexican musicians.
