Cox was headlining the Red Noise event in Caracas on Saturday when gunmen opened fire on the audience.

Police have not released any details on the events surrounding the shooting, but it is believed to be gang-related.

“My condolences go out to victims that were caught up in the horrific act that took place at this gig,” Cox said.

In a statement, the DJ added: “I feel so sad that anybody would act in such a manner when the event was full of 7,000 people having fun.

‘Sad moment’

“I find it such a sad moment in electronic music as this was probably one of the best set up shows I had played in South America – a sign of real progress – yet utterly hijacked by this mindless act.

“Again, my heart goes out to those that have died or been injured. This is not what the dance scene is about and is a million miles away from what I want to do, or promote.”

Vanesa Nieves, 24, Jose Rodriguez, 42, and Jonathan Gomez, 20, have been identified as the victims of the shooting, according to Venezuelan media, while a fourth has yet to be officially confirmed.
