Homicide numbers rising in Guanajuato

 Homicide numbers rising in Guanajuato

When Interior Secretary Miguel Ángel Osorio Chong acknowledged last week that violence has been on the rise he said the increase applied to certain regions, without specifying which.But the state of Guanajuato must surely be one of them.

The 95 assassinations in August was the highest of any month this year, according to the National Public Security System. Most of the murders have been linked to the activities of organized crime in the Bajío state.

Comparative figures to the end of July indicate intentional homicides were up 13% during the first seven months of 2016 compared to the same period last year, rising from 470 to 532.

In the last three months alone, Guanajuato has registered 354 of the 652 crimes on record in the first eight months of the year.


Vehicle thefts have also seen a big increase. Figures for the first six months of the year show a 40% hike in theft with violence of insured vehicles over the same period last year, rising from 342 to 480, says OCRA, an organization that tracks down stolen vehicles.

(The figures show that six other states recorded even higher increases in such thefts, with Campeche leading the way with a whopping 450%.)



Commander Murillo Gomez murdered
Some of Guanajuato’s homicide victims have included high-ranking officials belonging to the municipal police of the city of Celaya, including Commander Marco Antonio Murillo Gómez, who was executed August 8 while eating breakfast inside the city’s El Dorado market.

Three days later, police officer Césarea Saavedra Jiménez was killed after her vehicle was ambushed by sicarios, or hired assassins.

In July, another commander of the Celaya police force was shot to death.

For the state leader of the Democratic Revolution Party (PRD), the increase in homicides results from the lack of a security strategy.

“We’ve insisted that the state coordinate its efforts with the municipal and federal forces because homicides keep increasing but to date there’s no defined strategy,” said Baltar Zamudio.

Army Commander Pedro Felipe Gurrola Ramírez has announced that the Army and Federal Police will increase their presence in the municipalities of León, Irapuato and Celaya, where the largest number of homicides have been registered.

The state began the first day of September with the gruesome discovery of three corpses, two of which were found in a shallow grave by a farmer in the municipality of Apaseo El Alto and the third on a parcel of cultivated land in the municipality of Pénjamo.

In another outbreak of violence on Friday of last week in the city of Abasolo fragmentation grenades are believed to have been used in an attack on two small businesses, a corner store and a tortillería, in which two people were hurt. Six people were injured in the city  earlier last week when a man threw an explosive device into a beer store.

  6. The Mando Unico is taking down the local municipal police chiefs and anybody with a say on the matter, osorio chong has his eyes on the presidency and 2.5 years to sit there, that is about 1.5 years to start campaigning officially, this same problem is happening all over mexico, army and federal poolice creating problems and then coming to "help" by taking over police functions AND INCREASING CRIME against the people for all the money...

  7. The best time 2 hit up your enemies are between the hours of 3 and 5 in the morning. The majority of people are asleep during this time. And there are less civilians on the street as well. - El Sol Perdido

  8. I been wondering when somebody do a report on San Miguel de Allende. Things has been crazy, probably 40 peoples been killed since the Jaliscos come to take la plaza from the local guys wit La Familia. There even put a lista negra on Facebook with a buch of people who has all been killed. They kill people in broad daylight in very centro locations and there is no security en las colonias. Sunday nite the leave a bomb outside bars right in the most expensive part of Centro so it look like they may start to extorsionar in the busineses or they trying to fuck up the political carrer of mayors brother who wants to be gobernador. Police director make like 100thousand pesos a month and dont do nothing, they bring him from Aguas donde he run the jails. Like only 20 police officers for a municipio of 170000. Guanatos in big trouble, they say los rojos, zetas y LFM here too. Like any turist place they want put things under the rug but everbody very scared now about how things r going to go down

    2. O that's too bad.San Miguel Allende is a big expatriate place,like 12,000 foreigners living there.Known for colonial buildings and art.It's supposed to be quite unique although I have never been there.
