Overview
- The attack occurred on the México–Orizaba highway near the Xonacatepec bridge and involved gunfire that struck the tour bus used by part of Memo Garza’s team.
- One or two team members were wounded and paramedics transported at least one person to hospital in stable condition, while the artist’s team said two people suffered injuries.
- The bus driver did not stop after the shooting and instead diverted to Colonia Del Valle in Puebla to request help, where local emergency crews and municipal police provided aid.
- The Puebla state Fiscalía opened an investigation to determine how the attack unfolded and identify suspects, and authorities report multiple bullet impacts on the vehicle with no arrests so far.
- The incident prompted the postponement of scheduled shows and renewed focus on road safety for regional Mexican artists, coming more than a year after a 2025 bus crash that also affected Garza’s tour.
