Early Saturday morning two unidentified teenaged girls were shot to death and a third unidentified man was wounded in a firefight between a Monterrey police rapid response team in a pursuit with gang suspects near the intersection of avenidas Pino Suärez and Ocampo in the Independencia district.
The pursuit began when a detachment of a Monterrey Base de Operaciones Mixtas (BOM) group attempted to make contact with the occupants of a GMC pickup truck, but which ran away from the patrol. The pursuit went down Avenida Pino Suärez during which shots were exchanged between the armed suspects and police elements.
The truck apparently hit a parked vehicle and then the police group surrounded the truck. Inside the vehicle was one suspect, Marco Antonio Quiroz Rodriguez, 19, hit four times by gunfire, and the two girls, Aracely Esquivel Marquez, 16, and an unidentified companion, who were found dead from gunfire.
