A devastating loss has shaken Mexico’s music community.
Jonathan Meléndez, keyboardist for the indie rock band Camilo Séptimo, was found dead alongside members of his family at their home outside Mexico City, CNN reported.
Authorities discovered four people dead inside an apartment building in Atizapán de Zaragoza late Tuesday, September 1, according to a statement from the State of Mexico Prosecutor’s Office. Jonathan’s young son survived the attack — making him the sole survivor of the family.

Jonathan Meléndez’s 6-Year-Old Son Survived
The couple’s 6-year-old son survived after hiding beneath blankets during the attack, according to reports.
Authorities believe the murders occurred Tuesday evening, hours before the bodies were discovered shortly before midnight. Investigators have arrested two men in connection with the case. According to CNN, prosecutors identified one as Diego Sebastian “N,” described as an associate of Jonathan, and another as Gerardo “N.”
The New York Post reported that Mexico’s Secretary of Security, Omar Hamid García Harfuch, said one suspect “exploited the relationship of trust to enter the residence.” Investigators have reportedly ruled out robbery as a likely motive because the home did not appear to have been ransacked.
Camilo Séptimo mourned Jonathan in a statement following news of his death. “We will always remember him with immense love and gratitude,” the group said.
“Today we honour and celebrate his life, his music, his light and what we shared with those of us who were lucky enough to know him and make his way with him.”
The band also thanked the State of Mexico Prosecutor’s Office for its “effort and professional work” in investigating the case. “In memory of Honas, his wife Ana Paula, and his beloved daughter, who will live forever in our hearts,” the group concluded.
Billboard reports that Jonathan helped form Camilo Séptimo with singer Manuel Mendoza and guitarist Erik Vázquez in 2013, building a career with the Mexican indie group that lasted more than a decade. This is an ongoing investigation.
