Witnesses reported that the victims were outside a home participating in a Virgin of Guadalupe celebration when assailants on motorcycles approached and fired indiscriminately.
Irapuato Municipal Police responded to the scene after a call to the 9-1-1 emergency center.

The bodies were transferred to the Forensic Medical Service for legal autopsies.
The Attorney General's Office confirmed four fatalities and two injured, launching inquiries to identify those responsible. One victim was Eder, alias 'El Flako', an active member of the hardcore fan group 'Los hijos de la Mermelada' for Club Deportivo Irapuato, which plays in the Liga de Expansión MX.
