El Paso, Texas ( Border Report )- The governor of a city 20 miles east of Mexico City is requesting assistance following the shooting deaths of eight people at a ale station.
” Huitzilac is in mourning”, Mayor Rafael Vargas Muñoz of Huitzilac, Morelos, said on social media following the Saturday night attack. The city authorities “rejects the violent behavior that has taken place in our town.” We demand that the Attorney General’s Office and the federal and state governments support a swift quality of these unfortunate events and get the perpetrators.
Two cars passing by the business’s portal are captured on a security camera video that many Mexican news outlets have seen gunmen shooting at customers. Some sufferers attempt to run from chairs, but bullets immediately strike them. According to the Morelos Attorney General’s Office, four people died on the field and four more were taken to facilities early on Sunday.
” This office is ( conducting an investigation ) to identify those responsible for these acts of violence”, the state agency said in a statement Sunday.
Since May 1, Huitzilac and Tres Marias, a nearby community, have reported three many murders. In the first incident, three people were fatally shot in a dark Ford F-150 that was parked. On May 10, a vehicle on a bridge leading to Mexico City killed two men and one girl. Additionally, on May 8, a police officer was shot four days but managed to survive an apparent assassination test.
According to local media sources, Mexican officials have reported that Morelos has seen a rise in medication cartel activity. According to reports, there are six and fourteen drug gangs operating in Morelos, including the transnational Jalisco New Generation Cartel ( CJNG ).

Americans should evaluate visiting Morelos because of murder, according to an advisory issued by the U.S. State Department in August.
