Three Dead and Two Injured in Last Night’s Shooting

Last night’s gunshots have left two women and a man dead. Now, dozens of condolence messages are appearing on social media. Before midnight on July 6th, gunshots were reported close to the Jardines neighborhood; apparently a man was being chased. His pursuers shot him on Boulevard de Los Conspiradores and Avenida Las Américas. They shot 22-year-old Everardo “N” (whose brother was murdered a month ago), multiple times.

During the shooting, four women eating tacos at a nearby taco stand were wounded; Elena Ugalde passed away immediately, three more women were transferred to hospitals. One of the women, Ximena Morales Huerta, died later at the hospital. The municipal government issued a letter of condolence for the families: “The municipal Administration condemns the regrettable events and reiterates its collaboration with the authorities to resolve these events. We reassure our commitment to build the social tranquility and peace that San Miguel aspires to”.
