On May 19, 2023, sports reporter Fernando Vargas was carjacked live on air while providing commentary for the women's basketball playoffs in Morelos, Mexico. The shocking incident unfolded as Vargas was discussing the game from his car when a man wearing a sweater approached, opened the car door, and threatened him with a gun. The robbery was witnessed by a fellow presenter who remained in disbelief as Vargas tried to calm the assailant, asking to keep his identification. Despite his pleas, the robber demanded all of Vargas's belongings, including his phone, wallet, and watch, before fleeing in Vargas's vehicle. Fortunately, Vargas was not physically harmed during the ordeal, although he was understandably shaken. This incident adds to the growing concern over crime in Mexico, particularly in light of a recent carjacking case that resulted in severe injuries to a woman. As of now, no arrests have been made in connection with Vargas's case.
