Brugada’s personal secretary, Ximena Guzmán, and an adviser,
José Muñoz, were shot dead in Guzmán’s car on a Mexico City
street in broad daylight on May 20. Guzmán, as she did
regularly, was picking up Muñoz at a subway station.
“These results represent the first advances of an ongoing
investigation,” Brugada said.
Bertha María Alcalde Luján, Mexico City's chief prosecutor, said
later during a news conference that five vehicles, including the
motorcycle the shooter fled on, were part of the operation. Two
of the other vehicles were identified as having surveilled the
victims in the weeks before their killings.
Alcalde Luján even said investigators believe the hit had
originally been planned for May 14, but Guzmán didn't pick up
Muñoz that day, so they believe it was called off.
Mexico's federal security chief, Omar García Harfuch, said
investigators confirmed that those involved in the shootings
initially fled to a neighborhood in the borough of Iztacalco,
not far from the capital's international airport. There they
changed vehicles and escaped the city to neighboring Mexico
state.
Early Wednesday, law enforcement carried out 11 raids, arresting
the 13 suspects.
Mexico City Police Chief Pablo Vázquez Camacho said there were
various lines of investigation, but authorities would not speak
of a possible motive while the investigation remained open.
