A man who worked as a lawyer and kick boxing instructor was killed on the night of this Wednesday, April 7 outside a gym located in Iztapalapa mayor's office, in Mexico City.
The man, identified as Vicente, was parking his vehicle, a Mitsubishi Lancer, outside the establishment, when two men on a motorcycle intercepted him and the one riding behind shot him three times in the chest and once more in the arm.
A woman accompanying the 35-year-old lawyer had gotten out of the car to help him park between two vehicles. She was the one who called the emergency numbers when she saw her companion being shot at.
Vicente was transported in a Civil Protection ambulance from Iztapalapa to the Xoco General Hospital, but a few minutes after being admitted the medical staff reported that he had died, reported the newspaper El Gráfico.
The man's mother received the news at the hospital and later testified to SCC officers that she suspected Vicente's ex-wife. The investigative police opened a line of investigation for matters of passion.
They found the body of another lawyer in Benito Juárez
On the afternoon of Tuesday, March 16, police from the capital's Ministry of Citizen Security (SSC) discovered the body of a man in the trunk of a badly parked car that exuded fetidity.
The body was discovered at approximately 18:00 hours at the junction of Bayoneta and Cerrada Revolución streets, in colony 8 de Agosto, inside a white Mazda with registration number NTX8017. According to the report by journalist Isidro Corro, residents of the area indicated that the car had been abandoned for a week.
A relative of the victim, allegedly her brother, identified the body in the ministerial amphitheater. This is Juan Fernando Ojeda, a criminal lawyer and fifth judge of first instance in the civil branch of the eighth court of the State, who was shot dead.
The Attorney General's Office of Mexico City (FGJCDMX) seeks to clarify whether the murder was derived from his profession, since he was currently litigating cases in the state of Guerrero and Morelos, reported the newspaper Excélsior.
According to the Attorney General's Office of Mexico City (FGJ-CDMX), five mayors have concentrated the 10 colonies with the highest incidence of the crime of intentional homicide since 2018 to date.
They are Cuauhtémoc, with 3 colonies; Venustiano Carranza, with one; Iztapalapa, with three; Tlalpan, with two; and Coyoacán, with one.
