The armed attack on the Prosecutor's office in Cancun, and the response by the police resulted in four dead, and three injured, as well as impounding of a grenade launcher, two homemade grenades, three large guns (two AK 47s and an AR 15), and five handguns. The five detainees were released and given their freedom, because the investigation revealed that they had nothing to do with these events. Around midnight, the Attorney General's office reported the advancement of the investigation into the crimes. The three attackers who died in the confrontation have been identified through their fingerprints and the AFIS system, but their identities were not disclosed. The prosecutors said the motive for the attack has not been specified, and investigations continue to determine which criminal group the deceased belonged to and to determine what their objectives were in trying to enter the building. Prosecutor Miguel Angel Pech Cen said that of the three people who were injured, one was an administrative employee who has had surgery and is stable, and there other two were police officers.
