Spokesman Aldo Fasci says the attack occurred Saturday at a home in Santa Catarina, a suburb of the northern city of Monterrey.
Authorities say a relative of the home’s residents had recently been in prison on drug charges.
The state offered a reward of just under $50,000 for information leading to the arrest of two suspects identified in the attack.
