Mexico City’s Security Secretariat described the shooting as a “direct attack” in which a 42-year-old man died and two 39-year-old men were injured, AFP reported.
The suspected attackers fled the scene on a motorcycle, and a police investigation is ongoing.
The attack occurred in Santo Domingo Square, an area surrounded by colonial-era buildings and notorious for the production and sale of false documents, local police said.
Although such shootings are common in areas under the control of narco-trafficking gangs, they remain unusual in the Mexican capital, despite the operation of several street gangs such as the Union Tepito and Fuerza Anti-Union.
