Ten killed in early-morning shooting in Tehuitzingo, Puebla, weeks before World Cup

Monday, 18 May 2026, 06:16 · 1 min read

Ten people, including a child, were shot dead at a private residence in Tehuitzingo (a small municipality in the southern Mexican state of Puebla, about 200 kilometres south of Mexico City) in the early hours of Sunday morning. Victims — six men, three women, and a minor — were reportedly found bound inside a home with gunshot wounds to the head, with local reports suggesting most were members of the same family and that a family dispute may be the motive. The attack intensifies scrutiny of Mexico's security situation less than a month before it co-hosts the FIFA World Cup, with the opening match scheduled for 11 June at Mexico City's Azteca Stadium; President Claudia Sheinbaum has pledged 100,000 security personnel for the tournament.
