Two Uruapan Shootings Leave One Dead and One Hurt as Police Detain Suspect

The back-to-back attacks fit a pattern of nine violent incidents recorded in the city this month.

Overview

  • Two attacks in Uruapan, reported minutes apart Tuesday night, left one man dead and another wounded.
  • On Calle Tejeda in the city center, motorized gunmen shot a man of about 40, and paramedics from APREVIT and Cruz Ámbar confirmed his death.
  • Officers detained a suspected participant on Avenida Latinoamericana after the first attack, finding a pistol as he rode a motorcycle.
  • Minutes later outside a home on Calle Critón in Fraccionamiento Las Lomas, another man was shot and taken to a hospital as the shooters escaped.
  • The shootings followed Monday’s gunfire at a CFE power facility that damaged a parked car and a guard post but hurt no one, and local counts now list nine April incidents with six dead and three injured.
