She is accused of participating in the deadly fire, while 'El Tato' was identified as the perpetrator of the attack on the nightclub and 'El Pelón' as his accomplice. The attack could be related to drug dealing and other activities related to extortion, according to local media reports. The tragic event occurred on November 18th, when a nighttime fire at 4:00 AM local time (10:00 GMT) in a bar took the lives of seven people due to the inhalation of toxic smoke. Emergency services were able to rescue nine people alive from inside, of whom five are still recovering from the injuries they suffered. When reporting what happened, the authorities have already ruled out that it was an accident and indicated that they had already identified the alleged perpetrators, although no arrests had yet been made. The alleged perpetrators arrived at the 'Lacoss' bar on a motorcycle and doused it with gasoline to set it on fire, according to local media. Furthermore, in their escape, the suspects allegedly fired shots at the facade of the premises to prevent the people inside from leaving. The crime of extortion has increased by 23.1% in Mexico between September 2024 and November 2025, the first 14 months of President Claudia Sheinbaum's term, according to preliminary figures reported on Tuesday by the Security Cabinet.
