Overview

• Early Tuesday, municipal officers in Apatzingán discovered a bound male aged 25–30 with facial gunshot wounds near the Constitución de 1814 monument.
• Hours later in Pátzcuaro’s Fraccionamiento Villas del Paraíso, two unidentified men estimated at 25–30 were found executed amid roughly 16 nine-millimeter casings.
• Police cordoned both sites and requested intervention from the Fiscalía Regional de Justicia in Apatzingán and the Fiscalía General del Estado in Pátzcuaro.
• Unidad de Servicios Periciales y Escena del Crimen teams transported all three bodies to regional morgues for necropsies and evidence collection.
• The twin discoveries intensify a July surge in cartel-style killings that has driven homicide counts in Michoacán to a monthly high.
