In a troubling incident, residents of the Primero de Mayo neighborhood in Tapachula, Chiapas, reported the discovery of skeletal remains near the coastal road. The remains were found this Thursday morning, and local authorities were promptly informed after residents spotted a suspicious bundle close to the old Social Security Hospital and just meters from a main street. This discovery has raised alarms in the community about safety and the potential implications of violence in the region.

Upon notification, various security forces including the Municipal Public Security Secretariat, the Special Reaction and Intervention Group (GERI), and the Immediate Reaction Force Pakal arrived at the scene to conduct an investigation. They cordoned off the area to maintain the integrity of the crime scene while awaiting forensic experts. The skeletal remains were found surrounded by trash, which raised questions about the circumstances of death and the potential for a larger issue related to missing persons in the area.

This incident underscores ongoing concerns about public safety in Chiapas, which has experienced violence and crime in recent years. The presence of skeletal remains adds to the worries regarding organized crime. Authorities are now tasked with determining the identity of the remains and ensuring the safety of the residents, who have been urged to remain vigilant. This case highlights the broader challenges faced in addressing crime within the state and the need for effective law enforcement response.
