Gerardo Gomez Dead: Gloria Trevi’s Brother-In-Law Victim Of Apparent Homicide

Gloria Trevi has suffered a loss in her family as her brother-in-law has been confirmed dead. The singer's husband, Armando Gómez, made the news official on his Twitter account, posting a farewell message to his late brother. "My dear brother, my Gerardo I will always love you, I will miss you," he wrote along with a photo of him. "Thank God for lending me the best brother in the world. I needed more time."

The death of Gerardo Gómez is still under investigation by authorities according to Mundo Hispanico. According to KGBT, Gómez died at the age of 38 and was found dead Monday at around 10 at night. Police had been called to look into an incident where shots were fired. An autopsy has been ordered to determine the cause of death and according to Telemundo he had gunshot wounds.

Armando Gómez wrote another message on Twitter thanking authorities. "Thank you to the homicide department in the USA for all their help," he wrote. "Thank you to everyone that are with us during this sad moment."

Gloria Trevi took to Twitter to share words with her followers during this immensely difficult time. "I'm sorry guys, these days have been of tears and sorrow at home but also love for God, I ask for your prayers for resignation," she said.

Gloria Trevi is currently embroiled in a court battle against "Ventaneando" from TV Azteca. The lawsuit originated after one of the network’s most recognizable hosts, Pati Chapoy, teamed-up with Karina Yapor to publicly expose “El Clan Trevi-Andrade” in 1998.

“I am not the one who is against them, or on top of them,” said the 48-year-old songstress. “I came back to work and I forgot about them, I moved on. When ‘5 Minutos’ and ‘Todos Me Miran’ became hits, I was doing great again.”

She continued, “So, they [TV Azteca] wanted to release a TV series to remind people what happened 10 years ago, and it was their own version of the facts. That when I said, ‘You know what? I’m not going to attack, but I will defend myself,’ because I have my sons, and they have no reason to be ashamed of their mother.”

Trevi was accused of being Sergio Andrade’s accomplice in the abuse, corruption and prostitution of minors. They were arrested in Brazil in the year 2000. Trevi was later transferred to “El Cereso” prison in Mexico; she was freed in 2004 due to insufficient evidence to prosecute her.

“I don’t want to fight with anyone, I don’t want trials, I don’t want to take this to court,” Trevi confessed. “But I also won’t let them attack me, and watch them gain ratings and promoters while they kick me and spit on my face, I just won’t.”
