Long time CMLL rudo and recently independent luchador Dr. X (or Dr. X-Treme) was reportedly murdered earlier this morning. He was 41. According to SuperLuchas note, he was shot at a party. Enrique Yniesta originally mentioned this story on Twitter.
More when details become available.
12:30 PM: news on the shooting here and here. The second article lists Dr. X’s name as Clemente Marcelino Valencia Nájera, and all articles now have him as 43 years old. Dr. X was just at a party with his friends and family when a brawl broke out. He was not the intended target of the shooting, was shot in the head, and died before he reached the hospital. No suspects are in custody.
AAA has put up a message of sympathy on their facebook page. Meanwhile, at least of right now, CMLL is listing Dr. X as working a show he was never going to be on.
IWL has also posted a note on their facebook account.
