A man of U.S. nationality was shot to death after an assault outside a restaurant in the Americana neighborhood of Guadalajara.

The homicide occurred on Sunday morning and it was in the afternoon when the District Attorney's Office announced the case occurred at the intersection of Morelos and Colonias, three blocks from the former U.S. consulate.

Municipal police arrived at the scene as first responders. The assaulted man was at the intersection and had gunshot wounds to his thorax and right cheekbone.

“Upon arrival of the unit, a 32-year-old male was found with a gunshot wound to the face,” said a Tapatío police officer present at the scene.

Paramedics arrived later and confirmed the death of the American.

The State Prosecutor's Office indicated that the first investigations revealed that the alleged perpetrators threatened the man with a firearm and robbed him of a watch, and then shot him.

The perpetrators escaped in a cab in an unknown direction, so there were no arrests in the area.

Agents of the Investigation Police of the Intentional Homicide Unit went to the site to initiate investigations and find the perpetrators.
