MEXICO – Newly released videos show the moment businessman Juan Antonio Bautista López survived two assassination attempts by a female gunman in October 2024.
The first attack occurred when the woman approached his parked vehicle on October 29, 2024, and opened fire, wounding him in the neck.
Despite his injury, Bautista managed to drive himself to a hospital.
En route, he encountered the same assailant again, now in different clothing and driving a vehicle. A second confrontation ensued, during which both parties exchanged gunfire. Bautista shot the woman, hitting her in the neck.
Following the incident, Bautista awaited authorities and was initially detained. However, he was later released after the shooting was deemed self-defense.
He has since urged the state prosecutor’s office to continue investigating, expressing concerns about potential future attacks and seeking to identify the individual who ordered the assassination attempts.
