Surveillance Video Prompts Mexico City Manhunt in High-Profile Assassination

Officials are combining the footage with transport logs, vehicle records, C5 feeds to reconstruct the suspects’ escape route.

Overview

  • Carlos Jiménez published July 18 surveillance footage showing three suspects walking hastily near Iztacalco hours after the May 20 shootings of Ximena Guzmán and José Muñoz.
  • Two of the men wore baseball caps and kept their heads down while another wore a tie and face mask to avoid identification.
  • Investigators from the Fiscalía General de Justicia and SSC-CDMX are tying the new recording to C5 camera feeds, public transport metadata and vehicle registries.
  • Alerts have been issued across Iztapalapa and the search has extended into the State of Mexico in an effort to locate the suspects.
  • Despite intensified efforts, no arrests have been made and the professional hitmen behind the attack remain at large.
