A man inside was reported to have died while the injured driver was taken to a hospital.
The events occurred around 4:00 p.m. when drivers passing through said area and residents of neighborhoods adjacent to the federal highway began to report the detonations of firearms to 911.
In another video that circulates through networks, four vehicles of those allegedly responsible for carrying out the massacre are observed, who are fleeing following the multi-homicide.
