On the night of last Wednesday, April 20, three people were killed in Bar Siete located in Pueblo Nuevo, Guanajuato, one of the victims was later recognized as Hugo Villanueva, cousin of the entity's mayor.

The person executed owned the business located between Miguel Hidalgo and 5 de Mayo streets in the central area of the entity, which an armed command entered around 22:00 hours on Wednesday.

The Attorney General's Office of the State of Guanajuato (FGE) reported on what happened in a statement, in which it was stated that the three males died at the scene as a result of injuries caused by gunshot wounds, while one woman was injured by the same act.

Hugo Villanueva, 44, was identified along with Baltazar “N” and Isaiah “N”, while the woman's data were not disclosed. In the same way, it was revealed that ballistic elements were collected and analyzed in the laboratories of the unit's Criminal Investigation Unit.

On the same day of these events, five people were executed in two violent events that occurred in the community of El Carrizalito, in Irapuato, as armed persons broke into various homes to execute their victims.

According to information released in local media, the first incident occurred around 8:30 p.m. in a building located on Morelos Street, where the armed group fired without a word at three individuals identified as El Güero, Daniel and Teodoro, who died on the site derived from the gunshot wounds they received.

According to witnesses, the same group of assassins moved south of the same colony to break into another house, where they executed two other people who were inside them.

Videos disseminated through social networks showed the violent nature of the event, as the audiovisual material heard the various bursts of gunfire that the hit men detonated against their victims.

Just a few weeks before these events, on March 23, the burned bodies of seven men were found inside a van in the municipality of Celaya, the state capital and the most violent municipality in the state.

Later, the victims were identified as members of the Guanajuatense band Los Chuparrecio, who had attended a concert near the venue hours before their lifeless location.

State authorities reported that on the night of that day, they were alerted to the fire of a 1987 Ford F-150 red van in Celaya, which contained the bodies of the musicians.

The Chuparrecios were veiled in their native Juan Martín, where family and friends went to say goodbye to them. A day after the funeral procession, two other tortured bodies were found in the entity, who are presumed to have attended the musicians' wake.

In the place where the bodies were deposited, a drug message was also found announcing that it was “still clean” in the entity, and which was signed with the initials C.S.R.L., which is presumed to correspond to the Santa Rosa de Lima Cartel.

Those executed are presumed to have had ties with the Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartel (CJNG), a criminal organization that disputes territories in Guanajuato with the Santa Rosa de Lima Cartel.
