Cuban killed in a shooting in Mexico.

The Cuban Yordis Nariño Delgado, 48 years old, was shot dead in the state of Tlaxcala, Mexico, last Monday, according to confirmations from official Cuban sources and local media.

Around 9:15 PM last Monday, in the community of San Gabriel Popocatla, in the municipality of Ixtacuixtla, two armed men riding a black motorcycle without plates opened fire on Nariño, who was left lying lifeless in the public roadway, reported the newspaper El Sol de Tlaxcala.

The death of Nariño, who was originally from Guantánamo, was confirmed this Wednesday by the Cuban Embassy in Mexico in an official statement published on the social network X, which did not mention the circumstances under which the Cuban lost his life.

The diplomatic office stated that it has contacted Nariño's relatives in Cuba and Mexico to provide them with support and the services they need, and it is also in touch with the Mexican authorities.

"The Embassy of Cuba in Mexico informs that: regarding the events that occurred in the municipality of Ixtacuixtla, Tlaxcala, where Cuban citizen Yordis Nariño Delgado unfortunately passed away; our consular officials are in communication with authorities and with his family members residing in Cuba and Mexico to provide them with the support and services that may be necessary, in compliance with the family's wishes," the note stated.

A report from the Mexican newspaper stated that, according to witnesses of the shooting, the assailants "arrived quickly and discreetly," fired several times at the Cuban, and fled towards San Martín Texmelucan, Puebla.

The body of Nariño "was left lying face down in Xicohténcatl street, surrounded by several spent shells."

After neighbors reported the shooting, municipal police officers and paramedic personnel arrived at the scene, where they confirmed that the victim no longer had vital signs.

The State Attorney General's Office (FGJE) is conducting the investigations of the case.

Family and friends of Nariño have expressed on social media the deep sorrow caused by his tragic death.

Last week, it was reported that three Cuban migrants were among the passengers of a truck that Mexican Army troops in Chiapas mistakenly shot at. The Cuban embassy in Mexico confirmed that the Cubans emerged unscathed from the shooting and were in good health.

In June, the young Eric Marcos Reyes Pupo, 26 years old and originally from Puerto Padre, Las Tunas, was shot and killed in Mexico. He had emigrated to that country with the hope of reaching the United States and reuniting with his mother.

A month earlier, another Cuban -the father of a child and originally from Santiago de Cuba- was stabbed to death after waiting two years in Mexico for the CBP One appointment to enter the U.S.
