The first incident occurred on the Chavinda-Villamar highway, where members of the seventeenth infantry battalion, corresponding to the 21st Military Zone of Morelia, were subjected to an armed attack while patrolling the streets of the town of La Chavinda.

According to information provided by the federal authorities, the CJNG hit men opened fire on the military for no apparent reason, so the military elements responded in the same way by detonating their weapons against the subjects who were moving inside vehicles labeled with the initials of CJNG.
