Aguilar died on his way to the hospital. Aguilar's friend who was present, Omar Abner Campos Vives, was arrested, and another friend, called "El Paco," tried to run, Mexican newspaper Proceso reported.
When police questioned his friends, they claimed they were "messing around with the gun and taking pictures when it accidentally went off." It is illegal for Mexican citizens to own guns.
The Ministry of Public Security told Proceso that the death appeared to be an accident.
No charges have been filed against Aguilar's friends as of Monday.
