Two thieves on a motorcycle, intercepted a resident of Chapala who was driving a company pickup truck, with the purpose of robbing him. When the victim resisted, one of the subjects shot him. The events occurred during midday on Wednesday, March 16 in Riberas del Pilar.
The victim was on Hidalgo Avenue at the intersection with San Mateo Street, Riberas del Pilar, when two people on a green motorcycle intercepted him as he got out of the truck. The victim was carrying a large amount of cash.
The 36 year-old man, a resident of Chapala, tried to defend himself from the robbers, but one of them fired a gun, hitting him in the left knee and taking his belongings.
Paramedics from the Chapala Red Cross arrived at the scene to attend to the victim, who had to be taken to Guadalajara for medical attention. The only thing known about the perpetrators is that they fled towards the downtown area of the town of Chapala.
