Violence once again left a succession of deadly scenes in different parts of Sinaloa. In less than two hours, four incidents mobilized security forces: two in Culiacán, one in the rural area of Escuinapa, and another north of Mazatlán.
In Culiacán, a body wrapped in plastic was left outside a home that had been attacked by gunfire in 2025. While authorities were responding to this case, another lifeless man was found in the Tierra Blanca neighborhood, semi-naked and with his face covered by a bag.
This violent day also reached the southern area. In the town of El Tobogán, in Escuinapa, a woman was found murdered. According to the journalistic report, she was the second victim found dead in that rural area, once again placing the community in the record of intentional homicides.
North of Mazatlán, the discovery involved two people: a man and a woman were found dead with their faces covered. The case added to the chain of reports that, within a short period, forced authorities to travel through different municipalities.
“I can’t believe it. The president says that disappearances and the dead have decreased significantly. Who is giving her those figures?”
