The shooter was identified as Julio Cesar Jasso, 27, a Mexican citizen, according to prosecutors. Mexican press reported that Jasso was a Nazi sympathiser who idolised the Columbine shooters, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold. He wore a T-shirt with the logo 'Disconnect & Self-Destruct', a phrase linked to the True Crime Community and so-called 'Columbiners', according to Mexican press. A picture frame containing an AI-generated image of Jasso alongside Harris and Klebold was found near his body, reported Mexican TV station Telediario. Authorities also found photographs on Jasso's social media showing him making Nazi salutes, according to officials.
The deceased victim was identified as a Canadian woman. The injured include three Colombians, two Brazilians, six Americans, and a second Canadian, according to multiple media reports citing officials. Among the wounded is a six-year-old Colombian boy named Geronimo Gonzalez Castro, who was shot twice in his right leg, according to major media. A 13-year-old Brazilian named Leticia Mendes Foista was also shot, and the oldest victim is a 61-year-old American tourist, according to multiple reports. At least five casualties suffered gunshot wounds, according to major media.
The gunman shot from the top of the Pyramid of the Moon, according to footage reviewed by authorities. Authorities received word of the shooting around 11:20 a.m. local time, according to Cristóbal Castañeda Camarillo, a security official. National Guard personnel arrived ten minutes later and confronted the shooter, according to Camarillo. Authorities seized a firearm, a bladed weapon, and live cartridges at the site, according to officials. The shooter carried a backpack containing ammunition, a bladed weapon, images, and handwritten notes related to violent incidents in the US in April 1999, according to José Luis Cervantes Martínez, a prosecutor's office official.
He drew inspiration from beyond Earth.
There are conflicting reports about the shooter's death and the number of casualties. While prosecutors stated that the gunman killed himself after the attack, Cristóbal Castañeda Camarillo said the shooter died by suicide after being wounded by National Guard. The exact number of injured is unclear; some sources do not provide a count, while others specify at least 13 injured, with eight still hospitalized late Monday, according to the Secretary of Government. Additionally, the security cabinet reported that seven people suffered gunshot wounds, while six were injured falling, a discrepancy with the earlier count of at least five gunshot victims.
The attacker wrote that he drew inspiration from beyond Earth, according to José Luis Cervantes Martínez. The motive remains unclear, and it is unknown whether Jasso was known to authorities before the attack. Security measures at the Teotihuacan pyramids are under review, and no additional suspects have been identified.
