So far, the General Directorate of Citizen Security Nezahualcóyotl has not informed about the reason for the chase or the operation of its elements at the Mexico City airport (AICM).
They did not stop for a search.
On the other hand, journalist Carlos Jiménez stated that the shooting started because the car in which three people were on board did not stop for a search.
So under this argument, the security agents of the municipality of Nezahualcóyotl shot at the three people in the car, resulting in a woman being seriously wounded in the head.
