Six people were slain by gunmen at a party in northwestern Mexico on Friday, including an alleged criminal who investigators say was targeted.
The Sonora state prosecutor’s office stated, “Initial investigations indicate that it was a direct attack against the leader of a criminal group who had arrest warrants for attempted femicide, homicide, illegal deprivation of liberty, and criminal association”.
According to the report, the unidentified target was murdered along with five others, and 26 people were injured in the early morning attack in Cajeme.
Prosecutors said they could not confirm rumors that the gathering was a 15th birthday celebration.
In Mexico, where more than 420,000 people have been killed in a drug-related death spiral since 2006, cartel gunmen have a history of targeting social gatherings.
Gunmen opened fire at a Christmas party attended by young Mexicans in the central state of Guanajuato on December 17, killing 11 persons.
