In a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/FGJ_Tam\/status\/1952811572805468268\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">social media post<\/a>, the attorney general sent &#8220;its most sincere condolences to family members, colleagues and friends&#8221; of V\u00e1squez Reyna.<\/p>\n<p>Images from the scene of the assassination showed a smoldering black SUV and V\u00e1squez Reyna&#8217;s body on the pavement.
