SAA event in Mexico on Sat 17th October 2026

A traffic officer was shot and killed this Saturday morning while on her day off; additionally, a ride-hailing service driver was seriously wounded in the Gobernadores neighborhood of Celaya, Guanajuato. This killing brings the total number of police officers and military personnel murdered in Guanajuato so far this year to 19. The incident took place on Bocanegra Street, as the victim—who was reportedly on her day off and served as an officer with the Celaya Traffic and Road Police—was preparing to get into an Uber vehicle. At that moment, unidentified individuals approached and opened fire directly at both of them before fleeing the scene. Following the attack, the woman’s body was left lying on the pavement. The driver, meanwhile, sustained gunshot wounds but managed to make his own way to a clinic to receive emergency medical attention.
