Violence and crime in Mexico

Overview

In Veracruz, a police raid in the El Espinal Bajo neighborhood of Orizaba led to a multi-hour shootout involving the National Guard, the Secretariat of National Defense (SEDENA), and the Secretariat of the Navy (SEMAR). The confrontation resulted in one suspect dead and three ministerial agents wounded. During the operation, authorities detained four individuals and rescued two people who were being held against their will.
