Breaking News: Tragic End for Musical Maverick, Carlos Ulises Loreto
In the wee hours of January 22, the music world was shaken by the brutal murder of Carlos Ulises Loreto, the visionary founder of Northern Organized Recordz (NOR), a prominent independent record label based in Mexico City. Loreto, alongside his wife, was the victim of a grisly home invasion in the upscale Jardines del Pedregal neighborhood, south of the capital.

Loreto’s wife managed to raise the alarm, and paramedics from the ERUM were quick to respond. However, their efforts were in vain; Loreto was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities wasted no time in launching a manhunt for the perpetrators, eventually tracking them down in the nearby Iztacalco neighborhood.
