- The governor reported the attacker was detained and then fatally shot once during a struggle, and authorities are investigating why he was killed after being subdued.
- Officials confirmed the assailant has been identified as a 17-year-old, countering earlier unverified claims that pointed to a so‑called phantom or foreign shooter.
- Authorities say the case appears connected to organized crime operations, though all lines of inquiry remain open as they work to identify the cell and motive.
- Civil groups announced a nationwide march for November 15, with Mexico City’s rally set to start 11:00 a.m. at the Ángel de la Independencia and police warning of road closures and possible Metrobús adjustments along the route.
