The mysterious shooter targeting vehicles along Vía Atlixcáyotl is using a 9mm pistol, confirmed the Puebla Secretariat of Public Security (SSP). This revelation has prompted authorities to prepare an operation aimed at identifying and apprehending the suspect.

Francisco Sánchez, head of the SSP, explained that initial damage to vehicles was caused by pellets or BBs, but recent investigations reveal a shift to actual firearm use. Evidence now points to impacts consistent with 9mm caliber bullets, raising serious concerns about the safety of drivers and motorcyclists on this busy route.

In response, security forces will intensify intelligence and surveillance efforts to locate the individual responsible for these attacks, which have unsettled many commuters.

Addressing circulating rumors, Sánchez dismissed claims that the shooter operates from the Torre Adamant building. This speculation arose after a nighttime video recorded by a motorcyclist surfaced on social media. However, most reported incidents have occurred in the afternoons, and no concrete evidence currently supports the theory that the shooter is firing from that location.

Citizens have contributed valuable information to authorities, which is being analyzed as part of ongoing investigations. Recently, a coordinated intelligence meeting took place at the 25th Military Zone headquarters, bringing together various security agencies to strategize the operational plan to capture the suspect.

This proactive approach highlights the commitment to ensuring public safety on Vía Atlixcáyotl, a vital corridor for Puebla’s daily commuters. The deployment of enhanced surveillance and collaboration among agencies reflects a necessary step toward restoring peace of mind for those who rely on this route.
