A targeted shooting near Mexico City’s presidential palace left one person dead and two others injured on Monday, authorities said.
Mexico City’s Security Secretariat described the shooting as a “direct attack” in which a 42-year-old man died and two 39-year-old men were injured.
According to officials, the suspected gunmen fled the scene on a motorcycle, and an investigation has been launched to track them down.
The shooting occurred at Santo Domingo Square, a historic area known for its colonial-era buildings and notorious for the production and sale of false documents, local police said.
While targeted shootings are common in regions affected by drug cartel violence, such attacks are relatively rare in Mexico City, despite the presence of criminal groups such as Union Tepito and Fuerza Anti-Union.
