Adolfo Lagos Espinosa was shot on the Tulancingo-Pirámides highway; according to the first investigations, theft was the main line.
Lagos Espinosa was riding his bike along with Luis Reynoso Gutiérrez when two subjects came out of the bushes to strip them of their bicycles, valued at 100 thousand pesos each.
They were followed at a distance by Lagos’ bodyguards, on a gray Jeep Cherokee with license plate P19-ACU from Mexico City, who opened fire on the thieves, apparently injuring Lagos and one of the assailants, who somehow managed to flee the scene on foot.
