Gunfire at Torres Lindavista Ends in Arrest as Mexico City Police Handle Two Incidents in Gustavo A. Madero

Authorities say detainees now head to the Ministerio Público.

Overview

  • SSC officials say a white Jeep Cherokee evaded a check and allegedly drove at officers, triggering a pursuit that ended with a detention inside Plaza Torres Lindavista.
  • Witnesses reported gunshots, helicopter overflights, and a large police deployment around avenida Othón de Mendizábal near Eje Central, causing traffic disruptions.
  • Authorities reported no civilian injuries at the plaza and requested an ERUM ambulance as a precaution, though it was not needed.
  • In a separate Martín Carrera case tied to a vehicle-sale meeting, three suspects fled; police say one pointed a gun and was shot and injured, and two others were detained.
  • Investigations are underway, identities have not been released, and a heavy SSC presence remained in the immediate aftermath.
