Unrest in Monterrey: Waste collection employee resorting to chaos, causes rampage
In the heart of Monterrey, on July 31, 2025, a shocking event unfolded at the "Cerro de la Silla". A garbage collection worker launched a brutal attack on his colleagues, resulting in a fatality and a serious injury[1][2].
The attack, which took place in the Escobedo area of the Monterrey metropolitan area, left one coworker dead and another fighting for their life[2]. The motive behind the attack remains unclear, but authorities suspect the perpetrator may have been under the influence of drugs[3].
The identity of the attacker has not been officially disclosed, but witnesses described the incident as sudden and brutal, with no prior signs of conflict among the crew[4]. The attacker fled the scene and was later apprehended in the Apodaca area[5]. His condition remains critical, and he is under police custody pending further investigation.
This incident has sparked concerns about workplace safety, mental health support, and substance abuse monitoring within public service departments. Local authorities have pledged to conduct a thorough review of hiring and supervision protocols to prevent similar tragedies[6].
Elsewhere in Monterrey, another surprising event occurred. Gene Simmons, the renowned rockstar, was found in a garbage truck, but the details of how he ended up there remain unknown[7]. The incident did not cause any injuries or casualties, and no connection has been established between this event and the attack at "Cerro de la Silla".
In an unrelated incident, panic purchases of beers were reported due to plant closings, but the nature of these closings was not specified[8]. The fire at "Cerro de la Silla" was controlled by Monterrey firefighters, and no further information is provided about the impact of these events on the local community.
