Villa Comaltitlán, October 2. Six migrants were killed and 10 more were wounded by gunfire during a chase by Mexican Army personnel in the municipality of Villa Comaltitlán, Chiapas, authorities reported.
Security sources indicated that members of the National Defense Secretariat (Sedena) were patrolling the lower area of the coastal town when they intercepted a truck that attempted to flee near the Los Cocos community.
The soldiers began a chase and were fired upon, so they responded by shooting at the vehicle.
Four foreigners died at the scene, and two more died later while receiving medical attention at a hospital in the municipality of Huixtla, where they were taken along with 10 other injured people.
Meanwhile, two soldiers who fired their weapons were removed from their posts, "and since this incident involved civilians, the Attorney General's Office was notified so that it can conduct the corresponding legal proceedings and determine who is responsible."
They demand justice for murdered migrants
The Southern Border Monitoring Collective, which brings together various pro-migrant and human rights organizations, demanded justice for the victims, including minors.
In a statement, they noted that the version released so far only includes official information, but that the migrants ' information should also be known .
