A Chicago singer who appeared on the Mexican version of The Voice in 2011 has died after he was shot in an ambush while celebrating his birthday with friends.

The Cook county medical examiner's office confirmed that 45-year-old Alejandro "Jano' Fuentes died on Saturday. He was shot three times in the head late on Thursday outside his Tras Bambalinas School on Chicago's south-west side.

He died on Saturday, the day after the funeral of Christina Grimmie, who appeared on the US version of the show. A man fatally shot Grimmie a week earlier while she was signing autographs after a performance in Orlando, Florida. The attacker then killed himself.
