On April 20th, 2026, the Pyramid of the Moon at Mexico’s Teotihuacan archaeological site was the site of a shooting. See previous article On April 20th, Disturbed Young Man Carries Out Shooting on Teotihuacan\u2019s Pyramid of the Moon<\/a>.

To summarize, a 27-year old Mexican named Julio Cesar Jasso Ramirez went on a shooting rampage. There were two deaths, that of a Canadian tourist and of Jasso himself, who shot himself after coming under attack and being shot by authorities. Others were injured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s look at various aspects of the shooting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

JASSO<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Julio Cesar Jasso was born in 1998 in the state of Guerrero. At the time of the shooting he was a resident of Mexico City. <\/p>\n\n\n

THE VICTIMS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Canadian woman was shot and killed by the gunman. Others were wounded, either by being shot or falling. Thirteen were taken to the hospital: 6 Americans, 3 Colombians, 2 Brazilians, 1 Russian and 1 other, either Dutch or Canadian (sources differ). Either way, they were all non-Mexicans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WEAPONS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jasso was shooting with an unregistered, 60-year old .38 Special revolver. When he shot himself he still had over 100 rounds. Jasso also had a dagger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SECURITY AT TEOTIHUACAN<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why didn’t they have tighter security at Teotihuacan? Well, tourist archaeological sites have not been known as scenes of violence. Until this. Now that’s changing, and security is tightening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

MOTIVES<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s the $64,000 question – what was Jasso’s motive? Or motives, which is more likely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

COLUMBINE COPYCAT SHOOTING – We know that Jasso was obsessed with the school shooting perpetrated in Columbine, Colorado in 1999. April 20th was the anniversary of that shooting. Upon his death, Jasso had material about Columbine with him at Teotihuacan, and he had an AI image of himself with Columbine school shooters Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HITLER – Jasso was said to be a Hitler fan, although I don’t find much specific information about that. April 20th was also Hitler’s birthday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

MESOAMERICAN HUMAN SACRIFICE – Jasso said to hostages: \u201cDon\u2019t move or I\u2019ll sacrifice you (plural)\u201d and ranting \u201cThis was built for sacrifices\u2026Not for visiting and taking a f\u2013king, s\u2014ty photo.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TARGETING FOREIGNERS – The Canadian who died and the 13 who went to the hospital were all non-Mexicans. Many foreign tourists visit Teotihuacan, it’s not hard to run into them.
Did Jasso purposely take foreigners hostage or was it coincidence? More eyewitness testimony from tourists could help shed light on this.

In a video recorded on the scene, here is what Jasso says to some hostages: “Y vosotros, y mierda, que hab\u00e9is venido desde la puta Europa, no vais a regresar.” “You (plural)…who have come from the xxxx Europe, are not going to return.”
Curiously, although Jasso speaks in a Mexican accent, here he uses verb forms used in Spain but not in Mexico. What’s going on?
Of all the victims who went to the hospital, only 1 or 2 were from Europe.
Also, Jasso falsely claimed to hostages that he had already “sacrificed” two Koreans, though there’s no evidence of that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“BEYOND EARTH” – In some notes Jasso had written he claimed to be inspired from beyond Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    CONCLUSION? It seems to me that the Columbine motivation seems to have been the strongest, though it’s quite likely that, as with most people, Jasso had several motivations, including some of these others. There might have also been personal factors: dissatisfaction with personal life, loneliness, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The bottom line is this was a disturbed young man. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    IS MEXICO SAFE FOR TOURISTS ? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Millions of tourists visit Mexican annually and few are victims of violence. But it’s quite possible that if people keep reading violent stories about Mexico it could affect tourism levels. But Mexican tourism continues to grow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    WHAT ABOUT THE WORLD CUP? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The 2026 World Cup<\/a>, the international soccer championship in which national teams compete, is scheduled to be held June 11th to July 19th, 2026 in Mexico, Canada and the United States.
    The Mexican venues are Mexico City; Monterrey metro (Guadalupe); and the Guadalajara metro (Zapopan).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There are 5.5 million expected visitors to Mexico in June for the World Cup. Let’s hope they’re safe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    MEXICAN HUMOR AND THE TEOTIHUACAN SHOOTINGS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Mexicans have a strong sense of humor and even joke about serious and tragic topics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Soon after the Teotihuacan shooting, memes came out about it. Besides exhibiting a morbid sense of humor these memes also lampoon the PC Mexican government worldview. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Here are a few:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    “Please do not carry out human sacrifices”<\/p>\n\n\n

    This one features President Claudia Sheinbaum, who says “If there is a shooting at the Pyramid of the Moon…then visit the Pyramid of the Sun.”<\/p>\n\n\n

    This one is based on the “X Days Since Last Accident” sign:
    “No Human Sacrifices Since 650 A.D.<\/s> 2026 A.D.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Here is an actual Mexican government sign which looks like a parody. It says “Are they trying to assault you? Tell them no. Legally nobody can take your property without your consent.”
    Seriously?

    So somebody made a parody of that unintentionally parody-like sign. This one reads “Are they trying to shoot you at the pyramids? Tell them no. Legally nobody can shoot you at the pyramids because the use of illegal weapons is prohibited in Mexico.”
