A lone gunman opened fire at a popular Mexican tourist destination, killing one woman and wounding 13 other people before shooting himself dead.

The bloodbath erupted around 11:30 a.m. atop an ancient pyramid in the Teotihuacán archaeological complex, a UNESCO-listed site 30 miles from Mexico City that welcomed more than 1.8 million foreign tourists in 2025.

Local prosecutors named the killer as Julio Cesar Jasso Ramirez, 27, who fired from the Pyramid of the Moon.

Daniel Edwards, a tourist from Ontario, Canada, who had climbed down from the pyramid with his wife moments earlier, told https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/canadian-woman-fatally-shot-mexico-9.7170773" rel="">CBC News: “I just started to hear people scream.

I looked up and he was with his gun pointed in the air.” His tour guide told him to run.

Another Canadian, Felicia Lee, 26, was among those injured.

Six Americans and a Russian were also hurt, along with three Colombian nationals and a pair of Brazilians.

The slain woman, who is also Canadian, has not been publicly named.

The gunman’s motive is not yet known.
