February 2020, Luis Alfonso Mendoza, aged 55, was killed in a
murderâ€"suicide in Mexico City at 604 Balboa Street. The actor was
accompanied by his wife, fellow voice actress Lourdes Adame, and his
brother-in-law, Jorge Adame, who were both also killed in the
incident.According to local media, the incident was due to "a quarrel
for a property" with the attacker, José Mario Chen MartÃnez. Said
quarrel allegedly involved the building where Mendoza’s dubbing
academy ArtSpot is located. Mendoza and the Adame siblings rented the
place in 1995 to found ArtSpot; however, the conflict began when the
building’s owner died. Chen MartÃnez assured that he was supposed
to have inherited it, which was not possible due to the lack of a
testamentary document that would have proved it. In the meantime, he
sued Mendoza and the Adame siblings of real estate lease and making
apocryphal documents to strip him of his property. Thus, on 29
February 2020, after years of quarreling without a case winner, Chen
MartÃnez committed the crime, firing nine shots, before shooting
himself in the head. He initially failed in the attempt, but died four
hours later at the Xoco Hospital, aged 52.
