A forensic investigator collects cartridges at the scene where the Mexican capital's police chief was attacked by gunmen in Mexico City, Friday, June 26, 2020.
Three separate possible ambush points were set up on major thoroughfares, including one which wasnt used in the heart of Mexico City, one block from the Independence Monument.
Lara said that of the suspects detained, one is Colombian and the other 11 are Mexicans from the capital and five states Jalisco, Guerrero, Nayarit, Chihuahua and Michoacan.
But it remains to be seen whether the government will go after the Jalisco cartel they way it did the Zetas.
Before being named Mexico City police chief, he spent several months as the mayors intelligence coordinator.
