Luis Donaldo Colosio was shot twice in the head and abdomen in 1994. Mario Aburto, a 23-year-old PRI worker, claimed he fired the shots, but later said he was tortured to incriminate himself and falsify information.

The Attorney General's Office (FGR) has taken a step in a direction that dismantles the theory that Abur to was a solitary murderer. The Prosecutor's Office has also implicated Genaro García Luna in the case.
