The discovery of the body was on the Rapid Expressway, in the Chilpancingo community.

Later, at 9:06 a.m., the homicide of a man by gunfire, who was allegedly driving a black and yellow Italika FT 150 motorcycle, with the license plate number UF-S8Z, was reported.

The event occurred on Miraflores Street in front of the address number 723, in the Valle del Rubí neighborhood, of the San Antonio de Los Buenos delegation in southern Tijuana.

Hours later, at 18:54, in the Calle Matías Gómez of the Libertad neighborhood, Emmanuel Gallardo Chumacera, 19, was shot.

The victim was taken to the nearby General Hospital with chest injuries, however he failed to survive.

Although police elements carried out an operation in the Libertad neighborhood to locate the aggressor - who fled on foot - so far there have been no detainees.
