A group of unknown attackers showed up at the sprawling public market in Toluca, opened fire and then doused the area with a flammable liquid before setting it ablaze and fleeing, prosecutors said.

“Nine people lost their lives, eight of them at the site and one more in a hospital,” read a statement from the State of Mexico’s prosecutor.

As of Tuesday, no one has claimed responsibility for the carnage in Toluca, a city of nearly a million residents located about 40 miles west of Mexico City. The deadly market inferno comes less than a week after at least two hacked-up bodies were discovered in Toluca, surrounded by handwritten signs claiming responsibility for the slaughter by the ruthless Familia Michoacana drug cartel.

Pieces from a second dismembered body were then discovered on the city’s east side and inside a burning car on the north side.
