Tomás Eduardo Tovar Rascón, better known as Tito Torbellino, was in Obregón for an appearance on Friday when he was killed at a restaurant.

Tito was having lunch at a Chinese restaurant with two other people when he was attacked by his murderers. There were six armed men, who after closing the doors of the restaurant shot him at point-blank range and hit him in the head and chest. He was rushed to the hospital, but he was declared dead on arrival, said ABC.es.

The incident happened at about 3:40 p.m.

Tito, whose age has been said to be between 27 and 32, was born in Phoenix to Mexican parents.

In 2002, he started Tito y su Torbellino. The band had a tuba, drums, bass, an accordion and other instruments common in banda music. He had more than a dozen albums, and his songs were based on his real-life experiences. When asked about how other artists had tragically died, he said that "all jobs have their risks" and how it was important to "be cautious of what you say and not get involved with risky situations."

He was going to be at tonight's Expo Obregón 2014. Both his parents were born in Obregón.

Tito was also working on becoming a film producer. He was already putting in motion the steps to start his first film "The Filly," which follows an immigrant boy who illegally enters the United States.

Mario Quintero, leader of Los Tucanes de Tijuana, described the news as "a bucket of cold water that leaves us very sad."

"It's something that's very surprising because he was someone we communicated with. Yesterday we tweeted with him," Quintero added.

He showed his musical ability at a young age. When he was in high school, he decided to drop out so that he could do music full time.
