Furthermore, unofficially it was learned that two sailors were injured, although no official report on what happened.
Subsequently, intelligence agents of the Marina accompanied the experts of the State Attorney to retrieval and transporting the bodies..
It all started at 4:00 pm today with a first exchange of fire between gunmen, traveling in a convoy of several vehicles, and officers of the Marina on blvd Heroes de Chapultepec, in the town of Guadalupe.
The shooting led to a chase by the elements of the Marina, following the armed group, and on Guerrero street, the soldiers were greeted with bullets.
From there the inhabitants of the neighboring colonias heard several bursts of grenades and gunfire that lasted for several minutes and continued in the Jardin Juárez, in the center of the city, where according to reports, the gunmen stopped the car in which they traveled and ran, with the sailors behind them.

UPDATE:
I am concerned that there is no confirmation of this death. Below is what I was able to find:
Press release on SEMAR website however, it doesn't say the names of the aggressors killed, just that they were 7, including two women.
This is the translation of the article:
Secretariat of Marines informed that during the first hours of today (Oct 23), personnel of infantry of Navy repelled an aggression of alleged members of organized crime in Zacatecas.
Based on intelligence information, personnel of this institution arrived at an address on the colony Centro (downtown), in the city of Zacatecas
Due to the gunshots exchange, the seven aggressors lost their lives, among them two women. At the place were confiscated, six long guns and one short gun, as well as several chargers.
A public prosecutor of the Common Jurisdiction arrived to the place of the events to make the correspondent actions.
This is another article from REFORMA that says the federal authorities are focusing on trying to identified the suspects killed after the version on social websites that one of the persons killed might be Alejandro Treviño (Omar Treviño/Z-42).
So the authorities have not yet confirmed if it was him.
