Seven-month-old Miguel Pano Colon was killed in January as his parents left a store with him

The baby's death is said to reflect the horrors of drug-related violence that has terrorized a generation of Mexicans

(CNN) Mexican authorities have arrested three suspects in the case of a 7-month-old baby who was shot and killed along with his parents as they left a convenience store in the city of Pinotepa Nacional, Oaxaca state.

The Oaxaca State's Attorney's Office identified the suspects as Juan Antonio Lopez Lopez, Arturo Arzate Vargas and Oscar Silver Idael Olmedo Lopez. They were detained in a Monday night raid on a house in Oaxaca state.

The case caused fury and great indignation in Mexico. The picture of the dead baby in a bloodstained white onesie, lying head down between his father's torso and left arm, went viral. The young mother, wearing denim shorts and a red blouse, lies in the background, also dead.

Oaxaca prosecutors identified the baby's father as Juan Alberto Pano Ramos, 24. He was carrying Marcos Miguel Pano Colon in his arms when armed men attacked them the night of January 29. The mother was identified as Alba Isabel Colon, 17.
