The 23 year old survived the shoot-out, which cost two associates their lives, but he is in critical condition following surgery to repair gunshot wounds to the thorax and leg.

Rosas, who recently received the Spanish Language National US Broadcasters Association's Microfono de Oro (Golden Microphone) in Miami, Florida, performed at the nearby Foro Tekate on Saturday night (21Mar15).

It is not known how his injuries will affect the his upcoming La Artillería Pesada tour in the U.S.

The shooting is believed to be the latest in a string of violent incidents involving grupero singers in Mexico - teenage star Alfredo Olivas was shot in Chihuahua after he reportedly complimented an audience member's girlfriend, and last week (15Mar15), Rogelio Contreras Rivera was kidnapped while playing at a bar in Monterrey and later killed.
