Tragedy struck at Caborca, Mexico after 32-year-old Marco Antonio was hit by a stray bullet on his wedding day.
The deceased was holding his bride’s hand while walking to the wedding car after the church ceremony when he was gunned down in the city.
The groom’s sister was also shot in the back, according to local media.
Officials confirmed Antonio died from a “direct attack” with a firearm and that his death could have been “a mistake”.
Carboca is home to the infamous Caborca Cartel, which is run by drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero. The gang are currently warring with the Los Salazar network over drug trafficking operations.
Speaking on the tragic incident, the prosecutor’s office said, “investigations indicate that the attack against Marco Antonio was directed towards another individual who was also getting married at the same time in a different nearby city.”
“No line of investigation is ruled out and all the necessary Criminal and Field Ballistics expert reports are carried out, in order to fully clarify the facts and find those responsible to do justice,” he added.
