What was supposed to be a quiet dinner at a taqueria in Amozoc ended in tragedy due to three criminals who carried out a violent robbery at Taquería El Asadito, in the municipality of Amozoc, leaving one person dead and two others injured by firearm.The events took place shortly before 1:00 a.m. this Saturday, January 10, at the establishment located on the federal highway Puebla–Tehuacán, at the corner of Avenida Juárez, in Barrio de Santiago.According to images circulating on social media and initial witness statements, three individuals with their faces covered by face masks and caps entered the premises with the intention of robbing.The criminals' entry was violent, and they first targeted the establishment's employees—both men and women—who did not resist as the robbers took their belongings, such as cell phones and wallets.Seconds later, a second assailant approached the only occupied table, where two men were sitting—one wearing an orange sweatshirt and the other a denim jacket—and took their cell phones.Everything happened in a matter of seconds, and it seemed the robbery would end when the third criminal grabbed the cash register containing the taqueria's money. However, one of the assailants got into an argument with the customer in the denim jacket, struck him in the face, and then fired his weapon.As they fled, he fired again and hit the other customer (in the orange sweatshirt). On the ground lay one person lifeless, one injured customer who managed to leave the premises, and the frightened workers.FGE Investigates Robbery at Taquería in Amozoc The criminals escaped with an estimated haul of 20,000 pesos—the money from the taqueria's cash register—plus what they stole from customers and workers at El Asadito.Minutes later, officers from the Amozoc police, in coordination with the State Police, arrived at the scene and launched an operation in the area, but there were no arrests.Personnel from the Puebla State Attorney General's Office (FGE) attended to remove the victim's body and initiate the investigation file.The images circulating on social media have shocked the residents of Amozoc and have also generated various comments against the municipal president, Severiano de la Rosa Romero, due to the level of insecurity in this municipality, located in the metropolitan area of Puebla.This translation captures the complete core content of the article (excluding ads, sidebars, social media embeds beyond the quoted tweet, and unrelated sections).
