Overview

  • Ernesto Cuitláhuac Vázquez Reyna, the FGR’s Tamaulipas delegate, died after a grenade detonated his vehicle and gunmen opened fire on Bulevar Miguel Hidalgo in Reynosa.
  • President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed federal support for the inquiry and said the Security Cabinet will reveal which criminal group was responsible and any link to fuel theft.
  • Omar García Harfuch’s Security Cabinet and Governor Américo Villarreal’s forces have joined the FGR investigation under a joint state-federal framework.
  • Elements of the Tamaulipas Guardia Estatal located one of the aggressors’ vehicles and handed it to FGR personnel for forensic testing.
  • Authorities have made no arrests to date and are weighing whether the attack ties to the recent seizure of nearly two million liters of stolen fuel in the region.
