Members of the Public Security Secretariat and the Veracruz State Attorney General’s Office arrived at the scene to carry out legal proceedings and recover the bodies.
That same night, at the “Maryboo” bar in the municipality of Álamo de Temapache, one more person died after an attack perpetrated by armed men who opened fire on the bar.
According to unofficial information, the victim of the attack was a Public Transportation officer; a DJ and the business owner were also injured by gunfire and were taken to a nearby hospital.
On the morning of Tuesday, September 23, armed men stormed the “Copa de Oro” bar in the municipality of Cerro Azul, killing a woman who was present.
