On Tuesday, February 11, in the Narvarte neighborhood of the Benito Juárez mayor's office, two men on a motorcycle opened fire on a group of people at a motorcycle workshop, resulting in one person dead and two injured at the scene.
On Thursday, February 13, near the Insurgentes Sur Metro station in the Colonia del Valle, an intense shooting occurred that, according to the initial investigations by the Mexico City Citizen Security Secretariat (SSC), points to a possible attempted feminicide. Pablo Vázquez Camacho, head of the SSC, provided more details about the incident in which police shot a man who was attacking a woman at the intersection of Félix Cuevas and Insurgentes avenues.
In a press conference, Vázquez Camacho mentioned that the agents intervened upon witnessing a struggle between the man and the woman, who was asking for help and sustained a head injury and other wounds. It was revealed that the deceased individual had a criminal record for robbery and had been imprisoned previously.
The latest hypothesis rules out an attempted robbery and suggests that it was an aggression motivated by an emotional relationship between the aggressor and the victim. According to the official, the aggressor was waiting for the woman with a homemade submachine gun, but the police managed to thwart the attack.
These events add to a series of armed attacks that have occurred in the Mexican capital in recent days, raising the toll to ten people killed and at least three injured. Since Sunday, February 9, various shootings have been reported in different neighborhoods of Mexico City, with incidents linked to alleged members of organized crime and street violence.
