Those responsible for the multiple homicides perpetrated on Sunday morning in the Francisco I Madero neighborhood, in Tlaquepaque, in which seven young people died and one more was injured, could be related to other murders that occurred in the first days of this month in the San Pedrito and Vistas del Cuatro neighborhoods, in Tlaquepaque, said prosecutor Luis Joaquín Méndez Ruiz.
He added that the Jalisco Institute of Forensic Sciences (IJFC) is analyzing the casings found Sunday morning at the intersection of Santiago de Linier and Nicolas Avellaneda.
“We are going to wait for the analysis and the response from ballistics, because by giving us, possibly with some other positive events that are related to organized crime, we could continue to sustain this position. Then, it is definitely a group that carries out this type of activities in that area, we already have some data, we will continue working to find the arrest.”
