Football, the world's most popular sport, turned into a crime scene in Tecpan de Galeana, Guerrero. In an ironic twist, as the narcocorrido singer 'Peso Pluma' played in the background, a shootout broke out in the middle of a football match, leaving three dead in its wake.
The incident occurred at the Sports Unit of the city, where an armed woman opened fire on some of the attendees. Among the fallen was Abraham 'El 90', another man, and a woman. Tragically, 13-year-old young athlete José Guadalupe Rebolledo Ocampo, a native of the El Tepetate neighborhood, was also hit by the bullets.

According to reports, the female hitman burst into the football match with an 'AK-47' and killed a criminal leader and his lieutenant, both members of the organized crime group Los Granados de Tecpan de Galeana. The hitwoman, still unidentified, was subsequently gunned down by hitmen guarding the crime boss.
This incident is a brutal reminder of the violence that plagues Mexico, where even a football match can turn into a crime scene. Meanwhile, 'Peso Pluma's' music continues to play, an ironic soundtrack to a tragedy unfolding in real life.
