Alejandro 'Jano' Fuentes, 45, was pronounced dead at 2:07 p.m, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office. He was shot Thursday, just after 10 p.m. in the 4300 block of S Archer in the city's Brighton Park neighborhood.

The attacker apparently ordered the performer out of his car then shot him three times in the head after he refused.

It comes days after Christina Grimmie, who also found fame after appearing on The Voice, was killed while signing fans for autographs after a show in Orlando, Florida. Grimmie's attacker killed himself.

Fuentes appeared on the Mexican version of the show, also known as La Voz, in 2011.
