“The motive that we have located is a possible revenge between groups linked to organized crime that depend on the same criminal structure known as the Jalisco New Generation Cartel,” Mejía said.

This is how the massacre happened in Michoacán
On Sunday, February 27, the funeral of the mother of “El Pelón” in the community of San José de Gracia, after his death in a hospital in Sahuayo due to cirrhosis.
Although his relatives live in San José de Gracia, “El Pelón” was apparently forbidden to return to the town, because it was threatened with death by “El Viejón”with whom for years he had held lawsuits with mutual accusations for the murders of their brothers.
Arriving at the funeral, accompanied by some 15 assassins in 3 vans and a Mariachi groupAlejandro’s brother “N” questioned him about his presence there, to which he replied that he had permission from the CJNG commanders to watch over his mother.
However, after just 5 minutes, they arrive 15 vans with at least 40 assassins with long weapons, surrounding the people who were at the funeral. It was about “El Toro” and his gunmen.
The assassins of “El Pelón” are disarmed, subdued and placed with their hands on their heads in front of the gate of a house. Meanwhile, Alejandro leaves the wake, walks about 20 meters to where his henchmen were, and starts talking on the phone.
“El Viejón” then approaches him and shoots him 4 times with his handgunhitting his head and flying his cell phone, which causes the death of “El Pelon”. Immediately afterwards, a scuffle breaks out between the assassins of the deceased and his rival. This moment was captured on video and broadcast on social networks.
The authorities have ruled out that the massacre in Michoacan it has been a shootingbecause the evidence indicates that it was rather a scuffle.
In a second video, the lifeless body of “El Pelón” is seen lying on the pavement. While a hitman pulls a Barrett 50. out of the bed of a red truck, another hitman approaches Alejandro’s body and takes his sidearm.
The Michoacan Prosecutor’s Office found at the scene 94 bullet cartridges: 10 caliber .9mm, 78 cartridges caliber 7.62, 3 cartridges 5.56, 3 cartridges caliber 45mm and 6 amorphous warheads.
The undersecretary of the SSPC stressed that the municipal authorities did not alert about the massacre in San José de Graciabut it was the State Prosecutor’s Office that alerted the other security instances, after which elements of the Army and the National Guard moved to the scene.
Likewise, Ricardo Mejía stressed that the alleged perpetrators arrived at the scene with special equipment to inject water and eliminate the evidence, although there were traces of blood, shell casings and bullet wounds at the crime scene.
The Michoacán Prosecutor’s Office has charged “El Viejón” as alleged material and intellectual author of the massacreHowever, until now the exact number of victims is not known, since the bodies were removed and have not been located. Unofficial reports indicate between 10 and 17 deaths.
There are also no complaints from the inhabitants of San Juan de Gracia for the disappearance of settlers, so it is believed that the victims were hitmen of “El Pelón” who accompanied him to the village from another area.
