Cabral and his driver were killed in the Guatemalan Capital on their way to the airport at around 5:20 a.m., and at least one other person was seriously injured in the attack, police said. "The vehicle was hit by 18 bullets," said Juan Manuel, a spokesman for Guatemalan president Alvaro Colom. A local firefighter at the scene said colleagues had seen two black vehicles pull up and open fire on Cabral's white Range Rover and the beige Chevrolet Tahoe accompanying the singer. The motive of the shooting was not clear. Guatemala, one of the poorest countries in the region, has one of Latin America's highest murder rates. Colom's office said in a statement that authorities were investigating whether the shooting of the singer was robbery related or a targeted attack. Cabral, 74 and nearly blind, was one of Latin America's most popular singers. He regularly filled concert halls around the region. He had been in the Central American country on tour. Rigoberta Menchu, a leading activist for the rights of indigenous peoples in the country who won a Nobel Peace prize in 1992, said the crime was just one of many to afflict Guatemala. "International criminals base themselves in Guatemala because they know they can get away with acts like this," Menchu told reporters at the scene, where dozens of police and onlookers milled around. Menchu is among the candidates standing for president in elections due later this year in Guatemala.
