The Ministry of Public Security implemented an operation in the downtown area of Orizaba in conjunction with SEMAR, the Army, and the National Guard.

Residents of this city indicate that the confrontation lasted for more than an hour. The downtown area of the city of Orizaba experienced moments of panic on the afternoon of this Monday, September 12, after a shooting occurred in the vicinity of Oriente 4 and Sur 13 streets.

The first police reports refer that alleged criminals opened fire on elements of the Public Security Secretariat (SSP), a few meters from Parque López and the PRI municipal steering committee. The chase extended to a house on that street.

State and municipal authorities recommended that citizens not leave their homes and businesses in the central area of the Orizaba municipality, in the Altas Montañas region of Veracruz. Governor Cuitláhuac García Jiménez confirmed that in the events a person was killed inside a home where they tried to take shelter. He said that in addition to attacking the police, they tried during the chase, to set fire to a gas station and set fire to a tractor-trailer, to distract the attention of the SSP elements. According to the report published on their social networks, there were no deaths.

The SSP activated a red code and implemented a deterrence operation made up of the same State Police, Civil Force, SEMAR, SEDENA, National Guard, and Municipal Police.

“We understand that the person who has already been neutralized in a home is a criminal of a certain rank, we are going to be vigilant, the Secretary of Public Security already has instructions to maintain coordination with the Secretary of the Navy and Sedena,” Governor Cuitláhuac García Jiménez stated.

A blockade was also reported on the Fortín Orizaba highway, where a cargo unit was set on fire.

Three of the alleged criminals turned themselves into the authorities, “We said we were going to turn ourselves in and I have my word, but they killed my comrade,” can be heard on a recording.

In another recording that circulated on social networks, you can see two alleged assassins who participated in the shooting. After being cornered, they are afraid of dying and intend to turn themselves into the authorities. “I have no weapons, we are going to surrender, we want the sailors,” can be heard in the video.

That same day, at a press conference, the governor was questioned about whether the government would support Orizaba with investments because the leader of CROC Orizaba called on the government to support them with works and work since the young people in the region are committed to joining organized crime and “hawking,” which increases criminality.

“We have a problem, not in Orizaba, Orizaba is getting ahead with tourism. Only someone who doesn’t know Orizaba could say that” answered Cuitláhuac García. “Not only go for the small fish, but catch the ringleaders. It will take us a while, but the results are already appearing”. He mentioned that a plaza leader was arrested in that area this weekend. “We are attentive to giving opportunities to young people. If there is juvenile delinquency, we cannot hide that. These opportunities must be taken away from crime, expanding universities, and giving scholarships at the high school level. This is how you have to do it,” he added.
