veracruz.- A shooting this Sunday left at least five people murdered, including two minors, in the port of Veracruz, according to preliminary police information.
The attack with long firearms occurred after 4:00 p.m. on the free federal highway Veracruz-Xalapa, near the aeronautical zone of the Secretary of the Navy and also the Heriberto Jara Corona International Airport.
It was reported that a black Ford Lobo truck was chased by armed individuals aboard several vehicles, but it was at this point in the Los Carriles neighborhood (in an area better known as Las Bajadas), that it collided with an electric power pole and later it was burst by hooded subjects and with false military clothing.
“They are pure nose eh, they are pure nose. Look at the other one, they are going to knock them down to see… eh. How come the Navy you? two residents who recorded the shooting.
In videos, it was recorded how armed subjects got out of three white trucks, one red and two compact cars to start shooting at the Ford Lobo truck.
Likewise, how the bodies of the children and adults were left inside the black van, and it was also reported that one more man died aboard a taxi on the road that connects the municipality of Veracruz with Boca del Río and Medellín.
Until now, no authority has issued official information on the act of violence that mobilized elements of the local Police, as well as the Army, Navy and National Guard.
The road is closed for more than 5 kilometers from the area of the attack to the town of Tejería, near the industrial zone of the port of Veracruz.
The company Aeroméxico reported that arrivals at the Heriberto Jara Corona International Airport could be delayed precisely due to the closure of roads.
“Your arrival at the Veracruz Airport may take longer than expected due to the closure of roads in the vicinity of the Airport. We suggest you take precautions,” the company revealed.
