The state of Guanajuato was the entity with the most homicides reported that day with eight, followed by Colima and Morelos, both with seven. Other centric states such as Jalisco and Guerrero have also seen an elevated number of homicides in recent weeks, but as authorities persist on containing criminal organizations all across Mexico, they are channeling their focus to certain parts of the territory where drug cartels tend to carry out their illicit businesses.
