Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. A drive-by shooting in Fresnillo, Zacatecas resulted in one fatality and one injury on April 2, 2025. The incident represents localized gang violence in a region that has experienced security challenges, though the specific supply chain implications remain unclear without additional context.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether it reflects broader security deterioration in Zacatecas state that could affect regional logistics operations.

Watch points
