Sad news for those who grew up with the Latin Spanish dub (like me). Gohan's Latin Spanish VA, Luis Alfonso Mendoza has tragically passed away.

This was announced by a fellow voice actor called Yamil Atala:

Translation:
R.I.P The great and only Luis Alfonso Mendoza, his wife Lulú and his brother-in-law.

And confirmed by another fellow voice actress called Alejandra de la Rosa:

Translation
They have confirmed they were shot outside his [voice acting] school, him, Lulú and Lulu's brother... I'm very sad.

Very sad news indeed. My deepest condolences to his brother Ricardo Mendoza (Yamcha's VA) and the rest of the Mendoza family in this hard moment.

This is just awful. I was just about to write this. Poor guy. May he and his family REST IN PEACE!!!

[DragonBallFoodie]

May his soul rest in peace.

I don't have any association with the Latin Dub, but holy crap that's tragic. I hope the shooter pays for his crimes.

[Cure Dragon 255]

Thanks KBABZ you are always awesome.

This is absolutely awful news. While I haven't watched a lot of the Latin Spanish dub let alone the Boo arc, I know how well-loved that cast is. As far as I can tell, the community has lost a wonderful talent to a senseless tragedy. It's even worse knowing that two of his loved ones were killed as well. My heart goes out to all of the victims and their family and I hope they rest in peace.

[Tai Lung]

whether as a dubbing fan, dragon ball fan or just as a human being this makes me sad, we still have the memories of his work or his interviews where he always showed himself as a great person, rest in peace

Heard about it this morning. What a tragedy. Hope he rests in peace and the scumbag who did it is caught. My condolences to his family.

They don't have to.

Depressing stuff within:

Spoiler:

The shooter attempted to take his life, but the shot to the head failed and he's under intensive care.

There may be mental health issues at play here.

Well I don’t feel sorry for the shooter one bit, mental health or not.

Even if this said person has mental problems, it doesn't change the fact that he still deserves to be prosecuted and punished to the fullest extent because we're talking one of the most horrific and unforgivable criminal acts that anyone could possible do to others. Then on top of it trying to take the cowardly way out in order to escape justice.

Just delete this actually

[KBABZ]

I agree 100%, but people like that don’t deserve to live at all. Makes me wonder why they don’t just off themselves to start with.

Yeah...that was a bit much even if he does feel that strongly about it.

[Tai Lung]

well the murderer tried to commit suicide but was saved ... even if it is the right thing they should not be considered with him just because he has mental problems

Sorry if that upset you, it came out wrong. It’s a fucked situation in general, but it legitimately baffles me why people go on killing sprees and then shoot themselves right after. If they’re that unhappy, why hurt others first? I just don’t get it.

Well, it didn't exactly so much upset me as it made me raise my eyebrows a little but even still it's clear this guy had something not right going on but he's survived and can thus be held accountable for this horrific act rather than killing himself and taking what he's done to the grave.

Yeah you’re right about that. I got carried away. A friend of mine recently died so I’m a harsher than I should be in regards to how the criminals should be treated. Sorry again.

Rest in peace. Mendoza and his family will be in my prayers.

I don't speak spanish, but i know how important that dub is to the franchise.
