Police in Mexico are investigating reports of a deadly attack on a wake in a town in western Michoacán state.
Footage shared by local media appears to show armed men lining a group of mourners up against a wall and shooting at them execution-style.
Investigators from the prosecutor’s office say that when they arrived at the scene they found bullet casings and cleaning materials but no bodies.
A search for possible victims of the shooting is under way.
Forensic experts said the crime scene appeared to “have just been cleaned” before their arrival but that bullet holes in two cars and a motorcycle and multiple bullet casings strewn across the road suggested a shooting had taken place.
Local security officials told journalists that they feared as many as 17 people could have been killed but the prosecutor’s office has not yet confirmed any deaths.
