Overview

• Miguel Ángel de la Mora, 28, was fatally shot late Sept. 29 at Molière and Presidente Masaryk in Mexico City’s Polanco district, steps from his Micky’s Hair Salón.
• Initial reports from the city’s Security Secretariat indicate two assailants on a motorcycle intercepted him as he exited the salon before fleeing the scene.
• The SSC and the Mexico City prosecutor’s office opened a homicide investigation, collecting ballistic evidence and analyzing CCTV; no arrests or motive have been announced.
• Miguel Hidalgo mayor Mauricio Tabe said the shooting was not a robbery, reinforcing authorities’ characterization of a direct, planned assault.
• De la Mora, a high-profile extensionist with salons in Polanco and Zapopan and a large Instagram following, had posted work and a planned giveaway hours before his death; one outlet reported he previously filed a complaint about threats, which investigators have not publicly linked to the case.
