An ambush planned in advance and executed with blocking tactics and coordinated fire was what resulted in the armed attack against businessman Alberto Prieto Valencia of the Mercado de Abastos (wholesale market) on the border of Guadalajara and Zapopan, According to official reconstructions and video footage analyzed by Jalisco authorities.

The criminal operation involved more than 30 armed men and at least seven vehicles, reinforcing the hypothesis of a direct attack attributed to organized crime.

Investigations indicate that the commando followed the businessman for several minutes to a residential area near his home. Camera footage and videos circulating on social media show how the sports car he was traveling in, an unarmored Lamborghini Urus, was escorted by pickup trucks with private security personnel.

At one point, a black SUV blocked the road, while gunmen positioned on both sides of the road opened fire simultaneously, a maneuver designed to immobilize the convoy and neutralize the bodyguards' reaction.

Official sources indicated that the attackers used vehicles with cloned license plates from the state of Michoacan and vehicles without plates to hinder their tracking. In addition, roadblocks were detected on surrounding streets, a tactic used to delay the arrival of security forces and allow the armed group to retreat. After the attack, four cars allegedly linked to the gunmen were abandoned at the scene and in nearby areas. The exchange of gunfire lasted for several minutes, even though the businessman had seven bodyguards, some of them retired military personnel, who attempted to repel the attack. Hundreds of high-caliber shell casings were recovered at the scene, evidence of the volume of fire used. The State Attorney General's Office considers the statement of one of the wounded bodyguards crucial to determining the escape route and the chain of command behind the attack. Authorities confirmed that the attack left three people dead, including the businessman, and several others wounded. The incident caused collateral damage to homes and vehicles in the area,where residents were caught in the crossfire. Prieto Valencia owned a transportation company and had operations in the Mercado de Abastos (wholesale market), an area that has reported an increase in threats and extortion schemes in recent months. Without drawing any conclusions, the state government reported that it is investigating possible links between the motive and criminal disputes and illicit activities detected in that commercial corridor. Following the events, the Jalisco Security Cabinet held an extraordinary meeting and agreed to reinforce joint operations with the Army, the National Guard, and state and municipal police forces, as well as establish daily security meetings. No arrests were reported, while authorities continue to reconstruct how one of the most complex ambushes recently recorded in the metropolitan area was planned and executed.
