Overview
- Attackers opened fire after a local match around 5:20 p.m. at a field in the Loma de Flores neighborhood of Salamanca, according to local authorities.
- Ten victims died at the scene and one at a hospital, with 12 others injured; officials said a woman and a child were among those wounded.
- Investigators recovered more than 100 shell casings as witnesses reported assailants arriving in multiple trucks and shooting indiscriminately.
- The Guanajuato prosecutor’s office opened an investigation, coordinated with federal authorities, and state and federal forces reinforced security as a manhunt continued.
- Mayor César Prieto called the assault part of a broader crime wave and sought federal help; the attack followed separate killings, the discovery of human remains, and a recent bomb threat at a Pemex refinery, with analysts tying the violence to CJNG–Santa Rosa de Lima turf battles though no motive has been officially confirmed.
