The Jalisco Attorney General’s Office confirmed the kidnapping and subsequent murder of businessman José Adrián Corona Radillo, of the Hermanos Corona Group.
According to authorities, the man was intercepted by armed individuals on December 27th while traveling on the highway to Puerto Vallarta with his partner and children.
The incident occurred in the municipality of Atenguillo, at the intersection known as Volcanes, on the road to Talpa de Allende.
