Thirteen people were killed on Friday night at the municipality of Minatitlán, Veracruz State, Mexico, when six armed men stopped at a party, was asked by a person and started shooting. The fatal victims included seven men, five women and a baby for a year. The State public security secretariat said: “subjects arrived to the place asking for a person known as ‘The Beky’. After that, they opened fire killing seven men, five women and a child”. A witness who was shocked after seeing the violent episode, recounted: “the aggressors were six subjects who came by shooting at all. They saw that one had a baby in arms and still shot him and shot him.” “Almost everyone is pulled to the ground and the attackers were told that they turned to see them. That would see them while they shot to kill them”, explained another witness. The territorial fight in Veracruz is between Los Zetas and Jalisco new generation drugs cartels. The intersections of these two bands are for control of routes of passage of drugs and the theft of fuel. Assassins murdered in view of everyone in the street, parties or restaurants or do disappear bodies in clandestine graves.
