The Puebla Prosecutor's Office reported that the multi-homicide incident outside Sala de Despecho bar in Angelópolis resulted from a mix-up by the attackers, specifically members of the La Barredora gang. According to Jorge Alfredo Mena Villaseñor, the coordinator of homicides, the assailants intended to target a different person but mistakenly shot at a similar-looking vehicle instead. This indicates a significant lapse in the planning and execution of the attack by the responsible parties.

Witness accounts and the chronology of events revealed that the victims had just left the bar and entered a white Mercedes-Benz van with Chiapas license plates when they were ambushed. Moments later, the actual target passed through the area in a vehicle resembling the one carrying the victims. This tragic confusion led to four armed individuals on motorcycles intercepting the wrong vehicle and opening fire, which resulted in the deaths of three occupants and left five others injured.

The implications of this incident shed light on the increasing violence attributed to gang conflicts in the Puebla region. It underscores the danger posed not only to individuals directly involved in criminal activities but also to innocent bystanders. The investigation's findings may lead to heightened police presence and preventative measures in the area to protect citizens and deter gang-related violence, a pressing issue in many parts of Mexico.
