Argentine singer and former model Fede Dorcaz tragically lost his life at 29 in a motorcycle drive-by shooting in Mexico City.

The Las Estrellas Bailan en Hoy production team paid tribute to Dorcaz on Instagram, stating, “The HOY family mourns the passing of our friend and colleague, Fede Dorcaz. Mariana and Fede were one of our planned couples for the new season. Fede leaves a great void in our team. His memory and passion will continue to inspire us always. Rest in peace.”
From model to Latin pop star
Born Federico Dorcazberro in Mar del Plata, Argentina, Dorcaz moved to Spain with his family at 13. He began his career as a model, walking runways for Giorgio Armani and Dolce & Gabbana, before transitioning to Latin pop music.
His popular tracks included “No Eres Tú” and “Cara Bonita”, and his debut album Instinto was released in October 2024. Dorcaz’s music consistently charted in Mexico’s top radio hits, marking him as a rising star in the Latin music scene.
Earlier this year, Dorcaz told Rolling Stone Australia, “I want to be more than just a musician. I want to show people that you can build something amazing from nothing and inspire others to chase their dreams.”
Investigation underway
Authorities are reviewing surveillance footage from the area and conducting an ongoing investigation into the shooting. While police suspect a robbery attempt, they have yet to confirm the exact motive or identify the suspects.
