Authorities identified the assailants as two men on a motorcycle.

On September 29, a 14-year-old was seriously injured by a gunshot to the abdomen during an attack in the La Cedrera neighborhood of Uruapan. The victim was shot on a private street near a baseball stadium and was transported to a hospital via private vehicle before emergency responders arrived.
