• Officers located a 9mm pistol, two loaded magazines and 35 cartridges in the trunk of the white Dodge Durango where Lagos was traveling.
• Lagos, 25, and at least one companion were transferred to the Fiscalía General de la República’s Ministerio Público in Acapulco pending a legal determination within the statutory 48-hour window.
