Three detectives assigned to the Deputy Prosecutor’s Office for Missing Persons were wounded after being ambushed by gunmen in Zapopan, a suburb of Guadalajara, yesterday afternoon.
The detectives were returning from conducting a survey on a piece of land related to an investigation into the disappearance of a person, when they were ambushed in the La Venta del Astillero neighborhoods by four individuals in a black vehicle who blocked their path. After firing several dozen shots, the gunmen escaped towards the highway to Nogales.
CCTV footage from a neighboring block captures the audio, and shows civilians sprinting away from the attack.
The attack provoked a major police response, but the culprits have not been located yet. The injured detectives were airlifted to a hospital for treatment.
It is likely that the detectives were surveilled by the CJNG while on their investigation, enabling the gunmen to intercept them as they returned home.
