A video released publicly on October 18, 2026, depicts two individuals identified as municipal police officers held captive and interrogated by an armed group in an open field in the municipality of Queréndaro, Michoacán. The footage shows the men seated on grass at night, blindfolded with their hands bound, while surrounded by armed individuals wearing tactical clothing and helmets.
The video recording follows a series of violent events in the region. On October 14, 2026, an armed entry was reported at a residence in the El Calvario neighborhood of Queréndaro. During that incident, municipal police officer José Luis R., aged 53, and his two sons, Adalberto Julián and Ángel Andrés, were taken from the home. On October 15, José Luis R. and one son were located injured in the locality of Río de Parras and provided medical assistance, while Adalberto Julián remained unlocated in public reports.
Security operations involving the Civil Guard, the Mexican Army, and the National Guard have maintained patrols and search efforts across the Queréndaro, Zinapécuaro, and Indaparapeo areas following recent security disruptions.
Local reporting identifies the armed organization operating in the area as Grupo X, led by Alan Martínez Durán, also known as "El Primo" or "El Comandante X." The group operates in the eastern region of Michoacán, where clashes between armed groups and local law enforcement have been reported alongside leadership changes within the municipal police force earlier in the month.
Authorities have not issued official statements regarding the identities of the two men appearing in the interrogation video or confirmed arrests related to its production. Investigation and search operations by state and federal entities remain ongoing in the municipality.
