On 23 May 2022, eleven people were killed in a mass shooting at the Gala Hotel and a nearby bar in Celaya, Guanajuato, Mexico.[1]
At about 10 p.m. CDT on 23 May 2022, 15 hooded gunmen from the Santa Rosa de Lima Cartel stormed the Gala Hotel in Celaya.[2] The hotel had a bar at street level, which they stormed into and killed two men and women. The gunmen then entered a bar across the street and killed another man and five women. They reportedly threw molotov cocktails, and torched the hotel, starting a fire which was later put out.[1][3] One person died in hospital, bringing the total to eleven, with eight women and three men. The attackers left a message on a piece of cardboard referring to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel and three dismembered bodies which were found hours before the attack.[4]
