On June 28, on the Mexico-Pachuca highway, a tragic event occurred that just went viral on social networks and caused great indignation. It was an attempted robbery of a father and his son that culminated in the death of the latter. The events were recorded on video, which went viral and caused great indignation in social networks.
During the incident, the assailants, who posed as police officers, shot at the 17-year-old identified as Gonzalo, who was recording the attempted robbery. Gonzalo was taken to a hospital, but unfortunately lost his life due to gunshot wounds.
In the video, a man in a gray sweatshirt tries to stop a vehicle. From inside a pickup truck, the young man's father can be heard asking his son to record the incident. The man in the sweatshirt gets into a black Volkswagen Jetta and the occupants of the van follow him and record.
In the course of the chase, the Jetta accelerates and when they catch up, the occupants of the Jetta shoot, seriously wounding Gonzalo. The video records the father's desperate cries for help for his wounded son.
Information circulated on social networks about the alleged participation of a worker of the Mexico City Water System (SACMEX) in the attempted robbery on the Mexico-Pachuca highway.
Journalist Gildo Garza published on his social networks that the owner of the Jetta involved in the shooting was Marco Antonio L.R., identified as a SACMEX worker. Garza shared personal data of the alleged owner, including name, surname, RFC, CURP, address and job position.
In response, SACMEX issued a statement clarifying that Marco Antonio L.R. was a former employee of the agency, who died on October 29, 2022. SACMEX informed that they have in their possession a copy of the death certificate of the former employee and deeply regretted the incident, reiterating their willingness to collaborate with the authorities in the investigation.
"The name Marco Antonio Luna Reynoso, who is identified as the "owner" of the Jetta model vehicle involved in the mishap, corresponds to a former worker who was assigned to SACMEX in the Tunnels Office, a colleague who died on October 29, 2022, whose copy of the death certificate is in the possession of this Agency," it reads.
The authorities also went to an address in the Venustiano Carranza district, where the car with license plates Z72-BCW, in the name of Marco Antonio, was registered.
There, it was reported that the car had been sold two years ago to another person and that the change of ownership had not been made. This new information reinforces SACMEX's clarification, indicating that the vehicle was not in the possession of the deceased former worker at the time of the incident. It should be noted that the vehicle does not currently have a theft report.
According to what the father of the family stated before the Public Prosecutor of the Attorney General's Office of the State of Mexico (FGJEM), he and his son Gonzalo were driving on the highway in the direction of Tizayuca when a black vehicle with tinted windows caught up with them. The vehicle turned on red and blue codes, like the patrol cars, and its occupants ordered them to stop, showing a fake police license plate from the window of one of the occupants.
The father detailed that when they stopped, one of the aggressors approached and ordered him to get out of the vehicle. When he refused and asked the reason for the stop, he felt that something was not right and decided to continue on his way. However, the criminals chased them and shot at them when they caught up with them, seriously wounding Gonzalo, who was filming them.
The authorities of the State of Mexico do not rule out that the perpetrators belong to a group known as "Madrinas", who operate with the support of the police and also carry weapons despite not belonging to any police force.
