On the night of 19 April 2019, 14 people were killed, including a one-year-old baby, while they were celebrating a birthday party for a 52-year-old woman in Minatitlán, Veracruz, Mexico. The assailants asked for "La Becky", the manager of a gay bar in Minatitlán and they started shooting.
The state Secretary of Public Security, Hugo Gutiérrez, said that some of the participants in the attack had been identified and a search was under way. Investigators believe the shootout was a result of a turf war between the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) and Los Zetas, two major criminal groups that operate in Veracruz. La Becky was paying protection to Los Zetas.
