After the January 1992 shooting and the increase in notoriety that followed, Sánchez began fearing for his life. He distributed his gun collection to his friends and sold the rights to his songs to
Musart Records, receiving just enough money for his wife to buy a house but depriving his family of any future royalties.

On 15 May 1992, during a performance at the Salón Bugambilias in
Culiacán, Sánchez was handed a note from someone in the crowd. The note is commonly believed to have been a
death threat warning that he would be killed that night, but this has never been confirmed.
[18] A video shows Sánchez reading the note, showing signs of worry, then crumpling up the note and continuing to sing.

After midnight, Sánchez left the club with two of his brothers, a cousin, and several young women. Their vehicle was pulled over by a group of armed men in black
Chevrolet Suburbans. They showed
state police ID cards and told Chalino their commander wanted to see him. Sánchez agreed and got into one of their cars.

The following morning, two farmers found Sánchez's body by an irrigation canal near
Mexican Federal Highway 15, near the neighborhood of Los Laureles, Culiacán. He was blindfolded and his wrists were red and had rope marks. He had been shot in the back of the head twice.

Sánchez was buried in the Panteón de Los Vasitos in Sinaloa, Mexico.
