As an ardent fan who has followed El Taiger‘s career since his debut, this news has left me utterly devastated and heartbroken. The world of Reggaeton has lost one of its brightest stars far too soon. At just 37 years old, El Taiger, whose real name was José Manuel Carbajal Zaldívar, brought an infectious energy and joy to his music that transcended borders and touched millions of hearts around the globe.


El Taiger’s story has ended in tragedy.

A week following the admission of Reggaeton singer José Manuel Carbajal Zaldívar (born Cuban) to the hospital due to a gunshot wound to the head, it was reported that he had succumbed to his injuries at the age of 37. His family members shared this information.

“It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of El Taiger this afternoon. A statement posted on his Instagram shared this news. His family appreciates the relentless work of the medical team at Jackson Memorial Hospital, as well as the countless prayers and tributes from millions during his hospitalization. Now, he has reunited with his cherished mother in heaven.

Not only did the statement promise further details regarding the memorial service and respect for privacy, but it also expressed that “El Taiger was the spirit of the people, and now let’s preserve that spirit through his music and legacy.

TopMob News has reached out to El Taiger’s rep for comment but has not yet heard back.

A tragic development occurred a week ago, following the discovery of the musician in the rear of an SUV close to Miami’s Jackson Memorial Hospital last October 3rd. He was quickly transported there for medical attention.

On the next day, a representative from El Taiger informed TopMob News that his condition was critical. He had already undergone surgery, and the medical staff had put him into a medically-induced coma to aid in the healing of his brain and decrease swelling.

At the given moment, Miami Police Spokesperson Mike Vega communicated to Telemundo 51 that the authorities didn’t think the incident occurred within the city. He further clarified, “We are confident it did not occur at the spot where the vehicle was discovered. Instead, this event transpired elsewhere; someone moved the car there, abandoned it, and departed on foot.

According to Telemundo 51, authorities discovered two gallons of gasoline in the back of the SUV. At the time, they stated that the investigation into the shooting’s motivation was ongoing and that they had questioned a potential suspect.

However, as investigations into the shooting incident carry on, friends and associates of El Taiger struggle with his demise.

According to musician Jacob Forever, posted on his Instagram Story on October 10th, “In this genre, I generally have good relationships with most of my peers. However, it’s well-known that José Manuel Carbajal Zaldívar was one of the very few true friends.

I went on to say, “May you find eternal rest, my friend, and may the heavens welcome your soul. May your spirit soar to great heights, and I hope that one day you’ll join your beloved parents in a place of everlasting happiness.
