17 Killed in Single Day in Mexico's Most Violent State

The Guanajuato region sees escalating violence as criminal groups battle for control, leaving over 2,990 dead this year alone.

Seventeen people were killed in Guanajuato, Mexico, on Saturday, including victims of three separate multi-homicide incidents.
In San Miguel Allende, three men were shot dead during a funeral, with five others injured in the attack.
Other killings included a quadruple homicide in Irapuato and three victims shot outside a supermarket in Juventino Rosas.
Guanajuato remains Mexico's most violent state, with nearly 3,000 murders reported in 2024, driven by conflicts between the Santa Rosa de Lima mafia and the Jalisco Nueva Generación cartel.
Authorities have opened investigations into the murders but have yet to release details on the perpetrators.
