The man who shot and killed Tito Torbellino is dead after being shot by police officer.

Carlos Montes Pacheco was identified as Torbellino's killer by the Sonora state Attorney General Carlos Navarro Sugich, according to The Associated Press.

Pachecho killed a woman named Blanca Olivia Acosta Encinas, 45, at a party, and then a police officer, who was there, shot and killed Pacheco. Pacheco was 26 years old and lived in Yaqui.

"Having compared the person who attacked Blanca Olivia and Tito Torbellino, the [Sonora] state Attorney General's office reports that it is the same person, Carlos Montes Pacheco," Navarro Sugich said.

He was also identified as the same person who entered the restaurant by those close to Torbellino.

Torbellino, whose real name was Tomás Eduardo Tovar Rascón, was in Obregon for a concert in May. Men walked into the restaurant and shot him from point-blank range.

Torbellino was 33 years old and was born in Phoenix to Mexican parents. He sang narcocorridos, which glorifies the drug trade, and talks about the life and death of drug kingpins.

Elijah Wald, who wrote "Narcocorrido: A Journey into the Music of Drugs, Guns and Guerrillas," explained how dangerous narcocorridos could be. But he said that love songs were equally problematic.

"In that world, it's probably more dangerous to be singing romantic songs than narcocorridos because it increases the chances that somebody's girlfriend will suddenly decide that you're the cutest thing ever," he said.

His music career started in 2002 after he dropped out of high school. He wanted to puruse music full time, and he had been playing the accordion since he was 14. He signed with Sony in 2009.

Many celebrities took to social media to express their condolences, and one journalist even asked people to not share pictures of Torbellino's body.
