Julio Cesar Jasso, the Teotihuacan shooter, admirer of the Columbine massacre and Hitler
Authorities say the gunman admired Columbine and Hitler, and investigators are examining links to the True Crime Community and possible preplanning.
- On Monday, April 20, a gunman opened fire at the Teotihuacan archaeological park near Mexico City, killing one Canadian tourist and wounding 13 other foreign visitors before dying at the scene.
- Authorities identified the shooter as Julio Cesar Jasso Ramirez, 27, a copycat who admired Columbine killers and Adolf Hitler, planning the attack for their shared April 20 anniversary.
- Among the 13 injured were six U.S. citizens, three Colombians, two Brazilians, a 29-year-old Canadian, and a 32-year-old Russian, with six remaining hospitalized on Tuesday. Criminologist Adam Lankford documented a global rise in mass shootings influenced by U.S. incidents.
- President Claudia Sheinbaum said the shooter had psychological problems and was influenced by external events, characterizing the incident as unprecedented. Officials vowed to bolster security at archaeological sites with metal detectors.
- The attack struck as Teotihuacan prepares to welcome World Cup visitors starting in June, while experts note mass shootings are rising globally outside the U.S., with the True Crime Community's origins tracing to post-Columbine internet forums.
