María de Jesús Quijada, a Morena councilwoman for Tecate, Baja California, was injured in an ambush on Tuesday, July 14, 2026. Quijada remains in critical condition at a San Diego hospital, but her husband died at the scene.

Quijada and her husband were ambushed in the Hacienda subdivision of Tecate by armed men while she was in a black KIA with her husband and daughter, around 5:00 p.m. yesterday. The councilwoman sustained multiple gunshot wounds to the head, but her husband Jesús Pereida died in the attack.

Quijada’s family told Zeta Tijuana that she is alive, in critical condition with two gunshot wounds to the head. Quijada is being treated at a hospital in San Diego, United States.

Authorities said the attackers fled in a white car, which was located minutes later in the Benito Juárez neighborhood in Tecate. The gunmen threw Molotov cocktails at it, likely to destroy evidence. No motive for the attack has been identified.
