Driver Murdered at Major Guadalajara Intersection

Zapopan Authorities Respond to Armed Attack on Periférico Sur

The victim was traveling along Periférico Sur from the ITESO direction toward López Mateos when two armed suspects on a motorcycle intercepted his vehicle, as reported by municipal police. According to the Zapopan Police, the driver took the cloverleaf toward the Bugambilias area before the attackers fired at least six shots into the vehicle. Emergency medical personnel and municipal police officers arrived to find the driver wounded in the driver’s seat, where his death was subsequently confirmed.

Following the shooting, local law enforcement closed off the area to preserve the crime scene, halting vehicles attempting to turn from Periférico onto López Mateos toward the southern part of the city. Meanwhile, the Ministerio Público deployed personnel to the site to advance the ongoing criminal investigation.

Traffic Disruptions and Investigation Protocols

The sudden closure of the Periférico Sur and López Mateos overpass created severe gridlock for motorists navigating Zapopan’s southern corridor. Traffic police assisted with vehicle rerouting while investigators gathered ballistic evidence and documented the scene around the brown Volkswagen Amarok.

Authorities have not yet released the exact age of the victim, identifying him only as an adult man. Investigators are working to establish a definitive motive for the attack and track down the two suspects who fled the scene on the motorcycle.
