The gunfire was intense and prolonged. The strikers fired multiple times, ensuring that the victims had no chance to survive.
The neighbors ran for cover, while the strikers fled at high speed without anyone being able to identify them with certainty.
Increasing violence in Naucalpan
The authorities arrived at the scene several minutes after the attack and found the bodies lying on the pavement with multiple gunshot wounds.
Members of the General Prosecutor's Office of State of Mexico cordoned off the area and began the investigation, but so far there are no arrests or identified suspects.
Residents have reported that insecurity in Naucalpan is out of control. Robberies, extortions, and executions have become the daily bread.
The figures show that Naucalpan has seen an increase in homicides and violent robberies in recent months, and the security strategies implemented by the government seem to be ineffective.
Organized crime continues to operate with total impunity
Sources close to the investigation do not rule out that the attack is linked to organized crime.
For years, the State of Mexico has become a strategic point for criminal groups, who seek to expand their influence and dispute territories without the government being able to stop them.
The population lives in terror, as the violence is not limited to clashes between criminal gangs. Citizens are also victims of armed robberies, kidnappings, and extortions.
Meanwhile, the state government insists that it is working on security strategies, the facts show that organized crime continues to operate with absolute freedom.
The residents wonder: How long will Naucalpan remain a lawless territory?
