Federal and state forces in Mérida, Yucatán, executed four simultaneous raids across the city, targeting properties believed to be connected to the September 15, 2024, homicide of José Ángel D.B. The victim was known for his business in buying and selling luxury vehicles.

Investigations suggest that a figure identified as "Shamir" may have ordered the killing of José Ángel D.B.
