Four men killed in armed attack during Guadalupe festivities in Irapuato

Four men were shot dead and two others injured in an armed attack in the early morning of December 12, 2025, in Irapuato's Colonia Morelos, Guanajuato. The incident happened as the victims were attending a street gathering for the Virgin of Guadalupe celebrations. One of the fatalities was identified as Eder, known as 'El Flako', a member of the Club Deportivo Irapuato's hardcore fan group.

The armed attack took place around 1:00 a.m. on December 12, 2025, in Colonia Morelos, between Benito Juárez and Vicente Guerrero streets, in Irapuato. 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. They found four men dead; two others had already been taken to a hospital by civilians due to severe injuries. The area was secured by preventive police while experts and agents from the Guanajuato State Attorney General's Office conducted evidence collection and opened an investigation file. 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. Group members posted a farewell message on social media: “Tu alma siempre fue libre; ahora tu esencia será infinita. Acá dejaste buenos recuerdos y mejores carnales. Descansa en paz, flakura”.

Eder was known in Irapuato for his viral humorous videos, dubbed “The authentic YouTuber of Irapuato” during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This incident is the second multiple homicide in nine days in Irapuato and the fifth in December in Guanajuato, totaling 22 deaths from massacres this month.
