Thursday's attack occurred during a symbolic seizure of the Guaymas municipal palace called by the feminist collective Feminista del Mar that commemorated the World Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.

Ojeda added that "everything related to this case is already being addressed, we are going to try to have more intelligence information to go about this criminal group that is there in the region."
