Overview
- Vice prosecutor Alfonso Gutiérrez said the attack in a Zapopan car impound targeted Barajas, leaving his compadre dead and an employee wounded.
- Prosecutors report no indications that the killing stems from a dispute between factions known as Los Chapitos and Los Mayitos.
- Barajas had relocated to Jalisco less than a year ago citing insecurity in Sinaloa, and officials say there are no recorded threats against him in Jalisco.
- The four vehicles the victims went to collect from Sinaloa were seized for analysis as investigators review surveillance footage and conduct interviews.
- No arrests have been announced, and family-held funeral rites in Guadalajara were conducted privately as images from the services circulated online.
