On Tuesday night, several violent incidents were reported in various parts of San Miguel de Allende, prompting a mobilization of security forces, emergency services, and law enforcement authorities.
One of the incidents occurred in the Independencia neighborhood, on Fray Juan de San Miguel Street, where a man identified as Francisco died after being stabbed during a fight.
According to initial reports to the 911 Emergency System, neighbors requested assistance after observing a person with a chest wound and active bleeding, presumably resulting from a fight.
Municipal police officers and Red Cross paramedics arrived at the scene and found the man lying in the street. After assessing the situation, it was confirmed that he had no vital signs.
Preliminary reports indicate that the attack occurred during a fight between the victim and another individual, who allegedly used a knife to injure him. The area was cordoned off, and the State Attorney General’s Office was notified to begin the corresponding investigations.
Minutes later, gunshots were also reported on Purísima Street, in the area known as Las Cuevitas, where a woman was wounded by gunfire.
Security personnel and paramedics arrived at the scene and provided pre-hospital care to the woman before transporting her to a hospital for medical treatment.
