Authorities in the central Mexican state of Guanajuato are looking for two male individuals who played a role in the assassination of an auto repair shop manager before the business was set on fire.
One of the two suspects is captured on video talking on his cellphone as he walked up to the mechanic's shop last Friday in the municipality of Celaya.  
The second assailant drew his gun at the employee, who was sitting behind the counter, and fired four shots, including one which appeared to strike the victim in the head.

The shooter subsequently dumped a flammable liquid on the floor while losing the grip of his gun before he used  a torch lighter to set the shop on fire.
His accomplice then ran around the shop and shot an employee, who survived the attack. He then placed a cardboard sign on the ground and took a photo of the shop ablaze before escaping.
