La Familia Michoacana Threatens Puebla Authorities After Car Fire Leaves Bodies

On June 22, 2026, a Seat Ibiza was found completely burned on the Periférico Ecológico near Parque Centenario in the Chapulco area of Puebla, Mexico. Firefighters extinguished the blaze and rescued two bodies from the vehicle’s interior, though later officials clarified that only one corpse was confirmed. Police cordoned the scene and the Fiscalía General del Estado (FGE) began forensic examinations.

Authorities also discovered a handwritten note threatening officials and signed “La Familia Michoacana.” The message read, “Nos metemos también a la guerra de Puebla… P*to Vicealmirante marino marrano. Att: la Familia Michoacana,” directing the warning at the state’s security chief. State and federal security forces increased patrols in the area while the investigation continues to determine any link between the fire, the victims and the criminal organization.

The incident has prompted heightened security measures in Puebla as officials seek to identify the victims and assess the credibility of the threat.
