Contestant on Mexican version of The Voice shot in the head in Chiraq

Chicago's Southwest Side

The victim was a contestant in 2011 on the Mexican version of The Voice.

From ABC Chicago:

A Chicago man and contestant on a Mexican version of a popular singing competition show is in critical condition after being shot on Chicago's Southwest Side.

Alejandro Jano Fuentes was shot in the head several times in the 4300 block of South Archer in the city's Brighton Park neighborhood.

There are prayers for Fuentes after a confrontation with a gunman outside his Southwest side performing arts center leaves him in critical but stable condition.

"He's fighting a big battle for his life," said Miguel Sanchez, a friend of Fuentes.

Fuentes, 45, was celebrating his birthday that night.

Update June 19: Fuentes passed away yesterday.
