BAJA CALIFORNIA, México (KGTV) — A total of 10 people were killed and seven more were injured during a Saturday afternoon shooting in Mexico's municipality of Ensenada, Baja California, according to a report by ABC 10News media partner Televisa.
The shooting happened at a racing event around 2 p.m. in the San Vicente area of Baja California.
According to information provided by various security corporations, there were two pickup trucks and three SUVs that opened fire on the participants of a race car exhibition event. The event was happening on the Peninsula Highway, and the shooters fled the scene in an unknown direction.
The shooting happened about 90 kilometers from the U.S.-Mexico border, and the victims were left on the side of the dirt road and inside surrounding businesses, Televisa reported.
Law enforcement agents from three levels of the Mexican government launched an operation on the street to find the perpetrators of the massacre immediately.
Televisa reported that although the gunfire happened in the middle of the town, the shots rang out even in the most remote areas of the delegation.
People who spoke to Televisa's reporter said their work day was affected because of the attack.
Investigators spent several hours gathering evidence and necessary information for the case. It took first responders hours to remove the bodies in one of the most violent events in San Vicente's history.

The Cachanillazo, a meetup and adventure ride for UTVs from Ensenada to San Felipe, was ambushed by a band of armed gunmen on Saturday while on the Mexican Federal Highway 1 (Transpeninsular Highway) near San Vicente. Eleven were reportedly killed with nine wounded.
According to Baja California State Attorney General Ricardo Iván Carpio Sánchez, the attack happened on Saturday at 2:15 PM local time. While Cachanillazo drivers were parked at a gas station in San Vicente, multiple gunmen, hooded and dressed in black, drove a silver van to their spot before getting out and opening fire. Ten men and one woman were reported to have died.
Footage of the shooting surfaced on social media, which showed the gunmen moving in and firing. Passerby videos revealed some of the victims were killed while inside or next to their UTVs. Police at the local, state, and federal levels as well as the fire department and Red Cross assisted in managing the scene.
The AG did not immediately confirm the identities of the attackers, though local news reported they were members of a drug cartel while some of the UTV tour’s participants were part of a rival group. Specifically, the attack stemmed from the ongoing conflict between the Sinaloa Cartel (CDS) and Tijuana Cartel (Arellano Félix Cartel, or CAF); the CDS is one of the largest drug syndicates in the world, whereas the CAF was regarded as a major power in the underworld in the 2000s before diminishing in strength, though they maintain a presence in Baja California and Tijuana.
“The Cachanillazo family joins in this unfortunate tragedy,” reads a statement from organisers. “Unfortunately, what happened during the tour was not in our hands. We are wholeheartedly sorry for those lost and their families. Our sincere condolences. We are as baffled as all of you since we have nothing to do with what happened.”
San Vicente is located just off the 330th mile for SCORE International‘s Baja 500 set to take place in early June; pre-running for the 500 began on Saturday. While SCORE has not commented on the matter, the buildup to last year’s Baja 400 had been overshadowed by a cartel-led crime wave in the area (prompting the United States Consulate in Tijuana to warn against travelling) before decreasing in time for the race which proceeded without issue, with SCORE still coordinating police and military security to ensure racer safety.
