Zacatecas Governor Secretary Rodrigo Reyes Mugüerza confirmed reports that members of the Aguilar family were in proximity to El Soyate when state police were attacked. This incident occurred while a police convoy was traversing a region close to the Aguilar family’s property, prompting a response from law enforcement agencies. Reyes Mugüerza shared these details during an interview on the entertainment program Ventaneando, emphasizing the ongoing danger in the area.

In light of the attack, Reyes Mugüerza urged citizens to avoid traveling in the vicinity of El Soyate, as both terrestrial and aerial operations are still underway to ensure public safety. Additionally, it was noted that on February 12, local police, with support from the National Guard and the Army, were conducting operations between the municipalities of Tabasco and Villanueva, which may relate to the security situation surrounding the Aguilar family and their property.

The involvement of the Aguilar family, previously known for their controversial ties in regional matters, raises questions about the broader implications of this violent incident. As the security situation in Zacatecas remains tense, the dynamics between local authorities, law enforcement, and influential families like the Aguilars will likely continue to evolve, potentially affecting regional stability and public safety efforts in the area.
