The Secretary of Citizen Security of Mexico City, Omar García Harfuch, has been the victim of an attack that has left a provisional balance of two dead bodyguards, 12 arrested aggressors and at least three wounded, including the police chief himself who , according to local authorities, is out of danger. The convoy was intercepted at 6.38 in the morning as it passed through the exclusive neighborhood of Lomas de Chapultepec , while García Harfuch was heading, as every day, to the security meeting chaired by the head of the capital's government, Claudia Sheinbaum.

The authorities continue to investigate the details of what happened, although according to García Harfuch himself through social networks: "This morning we were cowardly attacked by the CJNG ( Jalisco Nueva Generación cartel ), two colleagues and friends of mine lost their lives, I have three bullet wounds and several shards. Our Nation must continue to face the cowardly organized crime. We will continue working. "

The Mexico City Prosecutor's Office has confirmed that 12 attackers have been detained and that they are working to "locate the material and intellectual perpetrators and bring them to justice . " At the scene, several fragmentation grenades and three .50-caliber Barret rifles were seized, a weapon exclusively used by the Army but also used by criminal groups such as the Sinaloa cartel. In the next few hours, the head of government of the capital, Claudia Sheinbaum , is scheduled to appear before the media to offer details of this brutal coordinated attack.

Questioned about this matter in his usual daily press conference, President López Obrador did not hesitate to assure that: "all this has to do with the good work that is being carried out both in Mexico City and in the country" . García Harfuch assumed the position of capital's security secretary last October and since then has led several coups against criminal organizations and local cartels such as 'Unión Tepito' , actions that have served him to be described by the current administration as "the best Mexico Police ".
