Witnesses reported that two men arrived on a motorcycle, one of them pulled out a gun and shot Danna, who was known in the region for her altruistic work in social causes and her help to neighbors, several times. The victim suffered a gunshot wound to the head and fell down some stairs. When paramedics arrived at the scene they gave her first aid, however, they confirmed that she no longer had vital signs.
Neighbors and relatives covered her body while the municipal police cordoned off the area, awaiting the arrival of the forensic services from southern Morelos, who removed the body and transferred it to the Forensic Medical Service of the municipality of Jojutla for the corresponding investigation.
