With less than 24 hours of going out to vote for the more than 2 million Tamaulipas residents, a series of violent incidents have taken place, including several assassinations, including the assassination of a ministerial agent, attacks against the federal police, which left two officers injured; as well as shootouts along the border that caused the alert level of the state and federal authorities to increase.
The most recent event was on Saturday afternoon in the border city of Reynosa where shootouts and persecutions were reported between military personnel and members of organized crime.
Half past 12:30, a chase and shootout was reported along the highway to Monterrey.
At 14:00 hours, the shootouts and persecutions had spread to various parts of the border city.
Since Saturday afternoon, the authorities have not yet reported the final results of the shootouts.
In addition, during the early hours of Saturday, a group of armed men ambushed a patrol vehicle of the federal police that was guarding a neighborhood in the west of Nuevo Laredo.
The criminals attacks the patrol vehicle with rifles from different points and as a result, left two officers injured.
Hours before, the Tamaulipas Coordination Group (GCT) reported that on Friday, June 3, members of the Secretariat of National Defense were attacked by armed civilians along a gap leading to a ranch located in the municipality of Nueva Ciudad Guerrero.
“By repelling the attack in defense of their lives, the soldiers took down one of the assailants, who has not yet been identified,” the statement said.
Friday night, the number of people killed totaled four. Among them, was a person dismembered and another beheaded in Ciudad Victoria.
The ministerial agent Carlos Baudelio García was also found executed in the streets of the neighborhood San Marcos, in the Tamaulipas capital.
The violent events increased vigilance to a maximum alert for the elections being held today (Sunday), where around 2.5 million citizens will go to the polls to elect governors, mayors, and representatives; after a campaign where candidates emphasized the issues of insecurity and violence.
Gubernatorial elections will be held today (June 5) in 12 states including: Aguascalientes, Chihuahua, Durango, Hidalgo, Oaxaca, Puebla, Quintana Roo, Sinaloa, Tamaulipas, Tlaxcala, Veracruz and Zacatecas.
Tamaulipas elections will be monitored by around 14,000 troops from the three levels of government.
The alert level also increased because the authorities have reports of threats of violence in the south of the state and in Ciudad Victoria.
