This Monday morning, June 22, 2026, a disturbing scene unfolded on the Puebla ring road near the Chapulco lagoon: a burned Ibiza car was found with two bodies inside, accompanied by a narcomessage allegedly from La Familia Michoacana.

The message accuses the state’s public security secretary of being involved in the ongoing criminal disputes between gangs in Puebla. While the details remain unconfirmed, this incident highlights the complex and violent dynamics affecting the city’s security landscape.

Authorities have yet to release an official statement regarding the event.

In the midst of such challenges, Puebla’s plans to expand public transportation, including the cablebús system, offer a hopeful path forward. By improving mobility and connectivity, these projects can contribute to social inclusion and economic opportunities, potentially reducing the conditions that fuel violence.

For migrants and residents alike, safer and more accessible transit options are crucial steps toward a more equitable urban future.
