Execution of violent raid in San Andrés Playa Encantada
The Attorney General’s Office of the State of Guerrero confirmed the death of a man and three women resulting from multiple wounds caused by firearm projectiles. The critical event took place at the restaurant called Playa Ventura, located on General Vicente Guerrero Street, an area adjacent to the tourist sector of Barra Vieja in the port of Acapulco.
According to official records, the incident was reported minutes after 7:00 p.m. A group of armed civilians broke into the building while a meeting was taking place, opening fire directly on the attendees. The intensity of the attack was recorded in testimonies and audiovisual materials that circulate on digital platforms, where the continuity of the detonations for a prolonged period is perceived.
Identification of victims and family ties
Preliminary investigations and sources consulted on the site made it possible to identify three of the deceased, who maintained a blood relationship and played administrative roles in the business:
- Alejandra “N”: In charge of the establishment.
- Radacundi “N”: Sister of the co-owners and manager.
- José Inés “N”: Brother of the aforementioned victims and in charge of the place.
The identity of the fourth deceased woman remains under official confidentiality while the corresponding expert opinion processes are concluded. The display of violence inside the establishment suggests a focused attack, given the functions that the deceased carried out within the operational structure of the restaurant.
Response of security forces and expert investigations
Neighbors of the community of San Andrés Playa Encantada reported hearing approximately 50 detonations, which caused the immediate protection of the civilian population in their private homes. Given the magnitude of the emergency, a joint response protocol was activated that involved various security institutions:
- Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection of the Government of Mexico.
- National guard.
- Secretary of Public Security of the State of Guerrero.
- Expert Services of the State Attorney General’s Office.
Upon arriving at the point of conflict, paramedical personnel and security agents confirmed that the four people no longer had vital signs. The area was strictly cordoned off to allow experts to collect ballistic evidence of various calibers, presumably from long weapons, whose processing work lasted several hours into the early morning. The Prosecutor’s Office keeps the investigation file open to determine the motive for this multiple crime in the coastal region.
