Four killed in taqueria in Guanajuato
According to the investigation, the five workers of the taqueria were working when three female diners arrived at 12:30 p.m. who would be their last customers.
Half an hour later, a vehicle arrived from which two male people with handguns descended, shouting at the workers and diners to kneel and take out their wallets and cell phones.
The man who saved his life knelt down and stood in line. He threw his cell phone and lowered his head. When he heard a shot he got up and fled towards Tierra Blanca Street, when he reached the corner he heard other detonations, hid behind a tree and waited several minutes.
When processing the crime scene, forensic personnel located handgun casings and other evidence that allowed those responsible to be identified.
