The Gustavo A. Madero borough in Mexico City was the scene of a violent crime resulting in the deaths of four men during an armed attack. According to reports, the victims were inside a vehicle when armed assailants approached and fired at them at least twelve times. This incident took place late on February 9, 2026, and has raised concerns about safety in the area.

The Secretaría de Seguridad Ciudadana (SSC) reported that they were conducting preventive patrols in the Martín Carrera neighborhood when they heard multiple gunshots. Following the sounds, they arrived at the scene to find the four victims, and further investigations have led to the arrest of seven individuals in connection with the crime. This prompt action by law enforcement highlights an ongoing issue of violence in certain parts of the city.

The attack has drawn attention to the escalating crime rates in Mexico City and particularly within the borough of Gustavo A. Madero, which has faced similar incidents in the past. The situation raises questions about security measures in place, and what might be done to prevent further occurrences of such violent acts as the investigation unfolds and community leaders call for enhanced protections for residents.
