Later, in a short explanation to the press, an visibly angry Brugada said with whom she had worked for years. She swore that her administration “will continue her relentless struggle against uncertainty”.

The attack occurred around 7 a.m. when Muñoz and Guzmán were on a busy thoroughfare in Mexico city in an Audi. There were four ball holes on the driver's side of the windshield. A body was on the sidewalk.

Mexican security analyst David Sauckedo said the murders had hit the license plates of an organized crime and he believes that they should put the Brugada government under pressure. He asked why someone who is as important as Guzmán in Brugada, had no security detail.

Sheinbaum condemned the murders and said that there would be no impunity. She said she didn't know any threats to Guzmán. Sheinbaum served as mayor of Mexico city before winning the presidency last year. You and Brugada are allies in the Morena party.
