In the municipalities of Culiacán, Eldorado and Mazatlán, another violent weekend was experienced, with five murders, including that of the former Secretary of Public Security of the port, Simón Malpica Hernández, a house was attacked with homemade explosive devices and new roadblocks were registered.
Following the fact that last Thursday, in the fishing community of Las Arenitas, in the recently created municipality of Eldorado, criminal groups threw explosive firecrackers at federal forces with drones, the Ninth Military Zone announced that those who work with drones will have to request authorization for their use.
Through a brief statement, the military authority announced that for precaution and security, if there is no prior notice of the use of drones, they will be taken down, so prior notification is necessary to determine if there are conditions for their operation.
In the city of Mazatlán, the former Municipal Public Security Secretary, Simón Malpica Hernández, was the victim of a shooting attack by armed civilians who shot him more than 15 times. He was seriously wounded and taken in a patrol car to a private hospital, where they declared that he had no vital signs.
The events took place outside his home, on one of the streets of the Benito Juárez neighborhood, in front of a sports field, so neighbors who heard the shots requested the assistance of the public security corporations.
In the Lázaro Cárdenas neighborhood, in the state capital, armed civilians attacked the inhabitants of a house, throwing three homemade explosive devices at them. Only two of them detonated, causing nearby houses to shake.
The information released is that the attack with homemade explosives occurred at a building on Gardenia Street, whose doors and windows were destroyed, without the explosions causing any damage to people, since the building was found alone when the National Guard and the army arrived.
According to the report submitted by the State Police, it was in the sense that inside the house damaged by the explosions, evidence was found that shots were fired from inside towards the outside, but no person was found.
On the federal highway Mexico-Nogales, north of the state capital and on the Culiacán-Eldorado, at the southern exit, unknown persons scattered steel spikes on the asphalt, so that private vehicles and federal forces ended up with damaged tires.
