Overview

  • Authorities said three of the detainees took part directly in the May 20 attack that killed Ximena Guzmán and José Muñoz, while the others handled planning and logistics.
  • The operation was coordinated by FGJ-CDMX and SSC with federal support from SSPC, FGR, Sedena and Marina, and Clara Brugada publicly thanked President Claudia Sheinbaum.
  • Investigators emphasized that the case remains active; identities and specific roles have not been disclosed ahead of a briefing led by Fiscal Bertha Alcalde with Pablo Vázquez and Omar García Harfuch.
  • Prosecutors have described the shooting as a direct, highly planned hit carried out by experienced gunmen, tracing vehicles and routes through C5 video and forensic work.
  • In a separate Mexico City incident, an SSC officer who fatally shot a 21-year-old motorcyclist during a street altercation was placed at the disposal of the Public Ministry as an internal and criminal probe proceeds.
