On Monday, June 1, 2026, concerns escalated among drivers and motorcyclists in Puebla’s metropolitan area over the so-called “Atlixcáyotl shooter.” A motorcyclist reported detecting a green laser beam aimed directly at his helmet while riding along Vía Atlixcáyotl, near the building opposite La Vista Country Club.

The rider discovered the laser pointer after reviewing footage recorded during his trip. A screenshot from the video clearly shows a bright green dot on his helmet, sparking fresh speculation that someone might be targeting road users from one of the nearby buildings.

This report comes amid a wave of citizen complaints about shots or impacts on vehicles traveling through Atlixcáyotl and surrounding roads. The State Public Security Secretariat (SSP) has confirmed at least eight incidents linked to the “Atlixcáyotl shooter.” However, none of the victims have filed formal complaints with the State Attorney General’s Office.

Authorities say an investigation is underway, with intelligence units analyzing possible locations from which the shots might be fired. So far, it remains unclear whether all incidents involve the same perpetrator or if some damages were caused by firearms of different calibers, air guns, or other projectiles.

Documented cases include:

– Vehicles with bullet impacts on bodywork and windows
– A passenger bus hit by projectiles
– A motorcyclist injured
– A child wounded by a projectile earlier this year near Camino Real a Cholula

New incidents were reported last week near Osa Mayor, Camino Real, and Vía Atlixcáyotl itself.

While the recent laser pointer sighting does not confirm a sniper operating from La Vista Residence—the building visible in the video—it has reignited alarm among daily commuters on one of Puebla’s busiest corridors. As more testimonies and videos surface on social media, citizens are demanding increased security measures to prevent a potential tragedy.
