The Murder of Chalino Sanchez

No one could write a narcocorrido like Chalino Sánchez. His ballads about Mexico’s anti-heroes made him famous. His murder made him legendary. Thirty years ago, he played his final concert in his hometown: Sinaloa, Mexico. He was found dead the next day — whether at the hands of a cartel hitman, or someone from his past seeking vengeance, no one can say for sure. This episode originally aired on Cold Cases.
