Cartel-linked shooting, festival death and Wales snubs FIFA’s Infantino lead a busy briefing

A shooting in Cuernavaca, Mexico, left two people dead and five injured during the opening night of a bar, according to local reporting. The available accounts did not establish a motive or officially identify those responsible, so any connection to organised crime should be treated as an investigative context rather than a confirmed finding. Separately, the fatal shooting at Seattle’s Bite of Seattle food festival remained under investigation: police said at least three people may have fired weapons, with three people killed and four wounded, including a toddler. Investigators said the incident may have involved rival groups, while a 15-year-old was detained pending a charging decision.

In football, the Football Association of Wales withdrew its support for Gianni Infantino’s re-election as FIFA president for the 2027–31 term. It cited failures in governance, process, leadership and judgement following the abandoned proposal to bring private investors into FIFA’s commercial operations and World Cup-related revenues. Wales was the first association publicly to revoke its backing, amid wider opposition from UEFA members; FIFA said the proposed commercial vehicle would not proceed without member-association support.
