Zayda Y Los Culpables (English: Zayda and the Guilty Ones) is a Mexican grupero band. The group sang romantic ballads about love and loss. The song "Tiro de Gracia" (Coup de Grâce), describing a failed relationship,〔"(Assassinations shock Mexican musicians )", ''The Guardian''〕 was one of the most popular songs from the band.〔Doyle, Leonard, "(Singers slain as Mexico's drug cartels target popular stars )," ''The Independent'', December 6, 2007〕 The song "De Contrabando" was first recorded by the band and years later became a hit record for Mexican-American singer Jenni Rivera. ==Death of Zayda Peña Arjona== Zayda Peña Arjona (March 5, 1981–December 1, 2007) was the lead singer of Zayda y Los Culpables. Shortly before midnight on November 29, 2007, an unknown gunman shot Peña in the back at Mónaco Motel in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, across the U.S.-Mexico border from Brownsville, Texas. Two other people — a friend of Peña and a motel employee — were also shot. Both died at the scene.〔"(Singer shot to death after surgery in Matamoros ER )," ''Houston Chronicle'', December 4, 2007〕 Paramedics took Zayda to Alfredo Pumarejo Hospital in Matamoros, where doctors determined that her injuries were not fatal. Physicians placed Peña in emergency surgery in order to remove the bullet.〔"(Zayda Peña Arjona Shot and Killed )," ''People'', December 3, 2007〕 The next day, several assailants entered the hospital, roaming the corridors.〔 Once they were able to find Zayda, the assailants went in and shot her again in the chest at point blank range to ensure her death.
