**A man was shot to death shortly after 5 pm in the afternoon in Col Independencia near the Eje Juan Gabriel and the Juárez Industrial Park.  Witnesses said he was an Uber driver.

**a man said to be an employee at a restaurant was killed by gunfire at 6:20 pm on Yepómera near Lucero in Col. de las Torres

**Before Trump ended his speech, about two miles directly South of the Coliseum where he spoke, two men were killed in the patio of a residence in Anáhuac, near the Chaveña municipal cemetery.

**A man was killed on the sidewalk in front of a residence in Col. Hidalgo, near the San Felipe de Jesus parish church just East of downtown.  Hidalgo is a neighborhood adjacent to the Chamizal, now a park, a 450 acre piece of territory President Lyndon Johnson returned to Mexico in 1964, in accordance with international law.  The Park is located about a half mile from where Trump was speaking.

**A man was shot to death around 9:00 pm as he was walking down a dirt street in Col. Tierra Nueva near a Super Servicentro.  His body was found lying face up 

**Shortly after midnight an encobijado was found at Km 33 of the Casas Grandes Highway.  A message written on carboard, suggesting the man was a drug pusher, was found at the scene.  He was wrapped in a black blanket tied with a black ribbon and a white rope.  He was wearing white tennis shoes and had a screwdriver in his pocket.
