Deadly Arson Attack: Masked Men Torch Mexico's Major Market, Claiming Nine Lives
Masked men attacked a market in Toluca, Mexico, killing nine people and setting the location on fire. Authorities suspect the violence may be linked to business conflicts. The market is the second largest in Mexico, with approximately 26,000 daily visitors. Toluca has seen recent instances of gang violence, including bodies found with signs claiming responsibility from the Familia Michoacana drug cartel. The group has reestablished itself in the State of Mexico and Guerrero, leading to a turf war with other criminal groups.
