Reports indicate that the assaulted family refused to stop at the community police checkpoint , which then initiated an armed persuit.

The persecution occurred from Santa Rosa to Juluchuca, where the community intercepted the family,
took the couple out of their car to shoot them
and took the vehicle,
leaving the child in the vicinity of the Technological University of the Costa Grande.

The State Police lifted the bodies of the tourists to transfer them to a funeral home that became a Forensic Medical Service (Semefo)
and took the child to Zihuatanejo where he gave his statement to the ministerial authorities.

The minor was also treated by Red Cross personnel in Petatlán for his injuries
and because he suffered a nervous breakdown after the incident.

So far, no authority has ruled on the events of early this morning.
