Security Chief Says Polanco Stylist’s Killing Was a Targeted Execution

Officials describe a coordinated probe with "very solid" lines, promising results soon.

Overview

  • Omar García Harfuch said the attack on Miguel Ángel de la Mora was not a robbery, asserting the assailants surveilled him and waited to carry out an execution.
  • The FGJ CDMX and the capital’s SSC are leading the investigation with federal SSPC coordination, which Harfuch characterized as having very solid lines of inquiry.
  • Investigators are analyzing CCTV and forensic evidence, reinforcing patrols with motorcycle controls in Polanco, and tracing an escape route into the State of Mexico, with no arrests announced.
  • Days before the shooting, De la Mora reported threats and secured a restraining order against a man later identified in media coverage as a suspect, who has publicly denied involvement.
  • Addressing public concern over the area, García Harfuch said Miguel Hidalgo has registered a decline in crime and maintained that Polanco remains secure.
