In the early hours of Tuesday, July 14, 2026, a significant security operation unfolded in the Santa Fe neighborhood, located across from La Vista Country Club in Puebla. The raid involved multiple security agencies alongside the Mexican Army, focusing on a suspect linked to recent shootings along Vía Atlixcáyotl.

Preliminary reports suggest that the operation targeted Rafael “N,” believed to be responsible for the firearm attacks that have alarmed residents in recent weeks. A video circulating on social media, recorded by a local neighbor, shows the heavy presence of security forces and the apparent detention of an individual during the raid.

However, as of now, no official confirmation has been released regarding the identity of the person detained or whether the operation is directly connected to the so-called “Atlixcáyotl shooter” case.

In the days leading up to this operation, Puebla’s Secretary of Public Security, Francisco Sánchez González, and the state’s Attorney General, Idamis Pastor Betancourt, announced that the suspect had been identified as a man. They also indicated that the Fiscalía was close to obtaining an arrest warrant, supported by intelligence efforts from the Public Security Secretariat.

Authorities are expected to provide an official update soon, clarifying the outcome of the raid and its relation to the ongoing investigation. This development comes amid growing concerns about public safety and the need for effective, inclusive security measures in Puebla’s urban areas.
