Violent Spree Spans Mexico and Argentina: Six Held in Milpa Alta Shooting, Two Killed in Edomex, Man Maimed in Mendoza

Swift, tech‑assisted policing defined the initial response across the cases.

Overview

  • Mexico City police report one dead and nine wounded after gunfire inside a chelería in San Antonio Tecómitl, with five men and one woman detained minutes later via a C2 virtual cordon and turned over to the Ministerio Público.
  • Authorities have not publicly detailed the number of weapons used or recovered in the Milpa Alta attack, which witnesses linked to suspects fleeing on three motorcycles and a vehicle.
  • In Cuautitlán Izcalli, two people were shot dead and at least one injured inside a laundromat at Plaza Arkana Norte, as FGJEM forensic teams collected casings and other evidence while the gunmen remained at large.
  • In Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, a 54‑year‑old man was hospitalized after four youths attacked him during an attempted robbery and amputated four fingers, with police reviewing CCTV and witness statements as the assailants remain fugitives.
  • Mexico City’s response in Milpa Alta included SSC officers, a C2 Oriente virtual cordon and support that led to rapid arrests, contrasting with ongoing identification efforts in Edomex and Mendoza.
