The target of the assassination attempt, a wealthy restaurateur, has since gone missing.<\/p>\n<p>The shootout took place on October 15 at the entrance of the Mexico City International Airport when a team of gunmen on motorcycles tried to kill 54-year-old Eduardo Beaven Maga\u00f1a. His bodyguards managed to fight off the attack by killing one of the gunmen, a 17-year-old known as \u201cEl Donovan,\u201d while a second got away. However, in the days after, it was revealed that at least three automobiles and two motorcycles were used in various roles in the attack. The hitmen had been following the businessman for more than a month, authorities revealed.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" readability=\"10.198895027624\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"es\">LO SUCEDIDO en <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AICM_mx?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@AICM_mx<\/a><br \/>Ladrones en moto buscaron atracar al empresario Eduardo Beaven.<br \/>Su escolta los enfrent\u00f3 a tiros, arroll\u00f3 a uno y lo arrastr\u00f3.<br \/>El hamp\u00f3n muri\u00f3<br \/>El restaurantero y su escolta est\u00e1n heridos pero fuera de peligro<\/p>\n<p>Les cuento con <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JoseCardenas1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@JoseCardenas1<\/a> en <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Radio_Formula?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Radio_Formula<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/sQj0KbmhVQ\">pic.twitter.com\/sQj0KbmhVQ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Carlos Jim\u00e9nez (@c4jimenez) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/c4jimenez\/status\/1449152219408896002?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 15, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>After the shooting, Beavan, who owns ritzy restaurants in Mexico City, Tulum, and Cancun, went into hiding.
