Both Ángel and the injured young woman were studying for a degree in Agronomy at the headquarters of the Life Sciences Division of the University of Guanajuato, located in the El Copal community, in Irapuato.
The rector of the University of GuanajuatoLuis Felipe Guerrero Agripino, said: “we repudiate the violence that once again puts our university community in mourning and we join the legitimate social demand to live in an environment of peace, at the same time that we demand the prompt clarification of the facts and the consequent administration of justice”.
A first version suggests that the students went out to a meeting when they met several National Guard patrols, who began to chase them because they did not stop the van.
The governor of Guanajuato, Diego Sinhue Rodríguez Vallejo, condemned what happened in Irapuato, and considered that there was “a disproportionate use of force” by the elements of the National Guard.
