Pro Bodybuilder known as “El Charro” Lomeli was shot while driving in his truck on Thursday night.
Former bodybuilding champion Luis Manuel Lomeli was killed on Thursday night. Charro Lomeli was driving his Dodge Ram truck in the San Jeronimo neighborhood in Leon, Guanajuato on Juan Alonso de Torres boulevard when he was shot by two gunmen from another vehicle, according to multiple reports.
Lomeli was allegedly on his way to the gym during the time of the attack. He attempted to put the car in reverse and caused a collision with another vehicle. The investigation is still ongoing as authorities are combining elements from the scene with available security footage to gather more detail.
This was the second time this calendar year that Lomeli was attacked. According to La Silla Rota Guanajuato, Lomeli was the victim of another armed attack about five months ago. The gunmen shot at Lomeli but only grazed his arm.
During this time, Lomeli was preparing to host a bodybuilding competition but was forced to cancel. Charro Lomeli was not competing on stage anymore but was working as a trainer helping other prepare for competition. Generation Iron founders, Vlad Yudin and Edwin Mejia Jr. recently met El Charro at The Fit Weekend 2023 in Mexico City.
