Singer Alfredo Ríos, known professionally as El Komander, announced the death of his infant son, Jose Eliseo Rios Avila, on October 30. The musician shared the news on his social media accounts the same day. His team posted an obituary featuring a photo of Rios holding the baby. The message asked for divine light to guide the child's path and offered comfort to the family.

The infant died in his early months of life. Rios did not specify a cause of death at the time of the announcement. The details of the circumstances surrounding the passing remained undisclosed as of the publication of this report.

Early on October 31, Rios posted a video from the funeral home where the wake was taking place. The clip showed floral tributes sent to the family. In the video, the singer addressed his son directly. He said, 'God take you, little one, we love you so much.'

Rios's management confirmed the singer would not perform his scheduled concert in Hidalgo, Nuevo Leon, on October 31. The team stated that Rios could not fulfill the engagement due to the loss. They asked the audience for understanding as the family processed the grief. The priority, according to the management, was giving the family private time to mourn.

The cancellation affects ticket holders who planned to attend the show in Nuevo Leon. No date has been set for a rescheduled performance. The announcement came less than 24 hours after the initial notice of the child's death.
