Puerto Vallarta prison break leaves 23 inmates at large

A prison assault in Puerto Vallarta ended in a confirmed inmate escape and a deadly response. Jalisco authorities now report 23 fugitives and one dead guard. Officials say the prison is under control again. Security operations continue in and around the city after a wider day of shootings and blockades. A multi-state search remains active as investigators review how armed attackers breached the gate. The latest count comes from a formal roll call, replacing the conflicting reports that spread during Sunday’s violence.
