An armed attack during a wake in the community of Bocas, in the municipality of San Miguel de Allende, claimed the lives of three people and left four men and a woman injured.
The events took place on Saturday night when the attacker arrived at the wake, held in a house on the main street of the community. From the gate, he opened fire on those present, presumably with the aim of killing one of the men due to a family dispute that had lasted for years.
It was revealed at the scene that the attacker and the victims had family ties. The person in the wake was the grandfather of the now deceased. The alleged perpetrator, known as “El Rojo”, fled along the highway towards Corral de Piedras after the attack.
The attack left three people dead, identified as Salvador, Jesús and José Álvaro, as well as five minor injuries, including two minors: a 10-year-old boy with a bullet graze and a 17-year-old boy with minor shrapnel wounds.
