An armed commando violently entered a home in the community of Malpaso, municipality of Villanueva -20 kilometers west of the capital of Zacatecas-, where a man was shot and five other people were deprived of their freedom, confirmed authorities of the Public Security Secretariat of Zacatecas.

According to the version of the neighbors of that community, the incursion of the armed group occurred around 04:00 hours this Wednesday, surprising their victims while they were sleeping.

Inhabitants of that town spread on social networks the warning that they would block federal highway number 54, Zacatecas – Guadalajara, which crosses that demarcation, to demand that the state prosecutor’s office and the local Public Security Secretariat find the kidnapped people.

In response to this threat by the inhabitants of Malpaso, federal and state corporations mounted a special search operation to try to locate the persons deprived of their liberty on the borders of the municipalities of Villanueva, Jerez and Zacatecas.

The murder of the still unidentified man and the deprivation of liberty of the five people who were in the same home coincided with the meeting of state heads of Public Security of the states of Jalisco, Durango, Nayarit and Zacatecas, held this Wednesday in the municipal seat of Villanueva.

Although the government of Zacatecas had initially invited journalists from local media and correspondents, finally without any explanation the invitation was cancelled and the meeting was held behind closed doors.
