The Puebla State Governance Secretariat announced that public police arrived to the municipality of Chapulco because a group of citizens had retained three suspected robbers. The three alleged criminals were injured, as the citizens had beaten them.

The police dissuaded the citizens from lynching the alleged criminals. One of them, 32-year-old Pedro Alexander Regalado Paz, was taken by the police to a hospital in the Tehuacán area, but died minutes after arriving.
