A tragic incident occurred in the state of Michoacan, Mexico, where a California couple lost their lives during the holiday season. The couple, aged 51 and 53, were visiting Michoacan for the December holidays when the unfortunate event took place.
According to the Michoacan Prosecutor’s Office spokesperson, Magdalena Guzman, the woman passed away inside their vehicle, while her husband succumbed to his injuries at a nearby hospital where he was rushed for medical attention.
The couple's identities have not been disclosed, nor has the specific town in California they hailed from. They had only been in Michoacan for a few days before the tragic incident occurred.
Authorities in Michoacan immediately launched an investigation into the shooting as soon as it was reported. However, as of now, there are no leads on the identity of the perpetrators responsible for the attack. The Michoacan Prosecutor’s Office has assured that they will be coordinating with US authorities to gather more information and work towards resolving this case.
This unfortunate incident serves as a reminder of the risks associated with travel to certain regions and the importance of staying informed about safety measures while abroad. Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of the deceased during this difficult time.
