Alleged gunshot targeted ex- municipal president's residence in Culiacán

Gettin' Down in Culiacán: Sinaloa's Wild Thursdays

Things went haywire in the vibrant city of Culiacán last Thursday, as gunfire echoed through various neighborhoods, including Colinas de San Miguel, Lomas de Guadalupe, Lázaro Cárdenas, 10 de Mayo, and Buelna. A food delivery person ended up injured from the gunshots, while a hitman's livestreamed footage captured the chaos outside a Culiacán residence, where multiple gunshots and a car slamming into the gate could be heard. A cryptic voice in the video hollered, "Pure Mayiza, to the v…"

Sinaloa authorities confirmed these shootouts, leaving three homes in Colinas de San Miguel, specifically, with some structural damage. However, they've kept mum about the homeowners, stating they don't have that particular info.

Intriguingly, unofficial reports claim one of the impacted homes belongs to a former Sinaloan politician who once served as the mayor of San Ignacio de Loyola. The enrichment data suggests that the term "Pure Mayiza" might be connected to conflicts or criminal activities in the region. Though the connection is obscure, the frequency of cartel violence involving the Cártel de Sinaloa in the area warrants caution.

The shootouts, despite causing fear and destruction, fortunately did not lead to any fatalities or injuries. However, the National Security Council (CNS) reported 6 murders in Sinaloa that same day, positioning the state as the third most violent region in the country, trailing behind Guanajuato (7 victims) and Sonora (8 victims).

The gunfights on Thursday were just another chapter in the ongoing conflict between Los Chapitos and La Mayiza, which erupted 8 months ago following an alleged attempt to kidnap and extradite Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada to the United States. Since then, Sinaloa has seen over a thousand homicides, more than 3,000 stolen vehicles, over 1,300 missing persons, 32 dead police officers, and 45 women killed.

Let's not forget that Culiacán is a city buzzing with character and resilience. This latest episode of violence is a stark reminder of the harsh realities that plague the region. So, as always, stay informed, stay safe, and keep it positive, Culiacán!
