Gunfire in Mexico City’s San Rafael neighborhood left a woman dead and a 34-year-old man seriously injured, the Citizen Security Secretariat said.

Police officers went to the intersection of Antonio Caso and Manuel María Contreras streets after receiving reports of shots fired. They found a white pickup truck on the sidewalk, with bullet impacts along its left side. A woman sat in the passenger seat, while a man inside the vehicle had blood on him.

Paramedics diagnosed the man with severe head trauma and a gunshot wound to the right occipital region. They took him to a hospital for treatment. The woman, who was approximately 25 years old, had no vital signs. Paramedics said she did not appear to have gunshot wounds.
