A woman who was gunned down in downtown Chapala last Sunday afternoon has been identified by local authorities as the widow of a notorious drug lord from the state of Nayarit.
The 36-year-old victim, Karla Elena Flores Sanchez, died of multiple gunshot wounds inflicted at close range shortly before 3 p.m. while she was sitting at the wheel of a late model Toyota FJ Cruiser parked at the north end of Avenida Madero. According to eyewitness accounts, she was attacked by a single gunman who opened fire after jumping off the back of a motorcycle that pulled up next to the burgundy colored SUV.
Flores was apparently holding her two year old son in her arms when the shooting occurred. Two shots aimed at the victim wounded the infant in his left thigh. An innocent bystander was hit by a stray bullet landing in her ankle.
