  • Municipal police and paramedics confirmed three people were killed in the Real del Valle neighborhood of Acolman.
  • Neighbors and relatives say the violence stemmed from a long-running parking dispute involving a collective van, rejecting the suspect’s claim that the victims were house invaders.
