Video footage showing an ambush of police in México state that left four officers dead has surfaced on social media
Suspected gangsters who perpetrated the attack also appear in the footage
which was presumably filmed by one of the assailants
The ambush took place on October 28 in Almoloya de Alquisiras
a municipality about 75 kilometers southwest of the state capital
armed men are seen waiting in a forest above a dirt road between the communities of Los Pinos and Las Vigas
we’re coming for you now,” the man filming says
the video’s narrator says: “Here’s ‘El Grillo’ [The Cricket]
Several other men appear in the video before the man filming declares: “We’re going to kill the state police here because they’re sticking their noses into our business.”
he adds: “This is where it’s going to happen.”
a volley of gunfire is heard as a state police vehicle comes into view
The vehicle quickly overturns although not before one officer falls or jumps from its rear onto the dirt road
He is then seen running off the road to take shelter before disappearing from view
Heavy gunfire continues for the next 55 seconds
Four police died at the scene of the ambush while a fifth officer survived
The México state Secretariat of Security and Attorney General’s office said they are investigating the leaking of the videos
which they obtained during their probe into the October 28 crime
The authorities said the footage forms part of the evidence against the alleged perpetrators
one of whom has already been arrested and is in custody
Some media outlets have reported that the men belong to the Familia Michoacana cartel
Almoloya de Alquisiras is part of the notoriously dangerous Tierra Caliente region
