### Shootouts in Villa del Campo: Three Dead and Three Injured
On the afternoon of Thursday, September 5, 2024, two armed attacks erupted near the Fraccionamiento Villas del Campo in Tijuana, resulting in three fatalities and three injuries.
The first incident occurred at approximately 6:06 PM at a Roma Pharmacy located at the intersection of Paso del Valle and Pavo Real streets. Eyewitnesses reported that gunmen carrying heavy firearms entered the establishment in search of an individual who had taken refuge in the medical consultation room. One of the attackers went inside and shot a man dead, while others remained outside, securing the area. The deceased, described as a slender man wearing a black sweater and blue pants, was found lifeless in the pharmacy’s restroom.
Two women were injured during the attack: a doctor identified as Cinthia Selene, 30, and an employee named Lilia Morales, 43. Both sustained injuries to the gluteal region and were transported to the Red Cross and IMSS Clinic 1 for medical attention.
Witnesses also reported that a couple was kidnapped from the scene, and the assailants fled in a gray truck.
Minutes later, police officers responded to a second shooting on Paseo del Campo near a tire shop, providing aid to a man who was identified as a collateral victim. The injured man, Ranulfo Gómez, 50, from Durango, was taken to the Red Cross after being shot in the leg. Gómez stated that he was passing by the pharmacy at the time of the gunfire and was unintentionally hit.
Another shooting took place on the same street, Paseo del Campo, near a factory, where a man and a woman were executed. The identities of the victims remain unknown. The woman, described as slender, wore a black sweatshirt, a purple top, and blue jeans. The man also had a slender build and was dressed in a black t-shirt and blue jeans.
Authorities discovered the getaway vehicle of the suspected assailants a few meters from the second crime scene. No arrests have been made, and investigations are ongoing to determine if the two incidents are connected.
