Municipal police officers proceeded to cordon off the scene and requested the command and handling of the case to the Public Prosecutor’s Office.
So far, the State Prosecutor’s Office did not report any arrests, although an operation between state, municipal and federal authorities was deployed to find those responsible.
This is the fourth police officer killed so far this year in Jalisco; in 2023, there were a total of 24 officers, including municipal, state and federal officers killed in the state, ranking fifth in the country, according to Causa en Común.
