Later, it was revealed that two of the victims were lawyers by profession. Well, yes, this news has made the rounds again in the state of Sinaloa.
We're going to go with our colleague Ángel Beltrán, who has the account of yesterday's violent incidents. Ángel, good morning. Yes, good morning, Samuel. Also, at the hearing, indeed, at noon yesterday, three men were shot, including two lawyers, and a residence that was located near the scene, apparently owned by one of the victims, was shot and set on fire during this attack caused by an armed group in the Miguel Hidalgo neighborhood, east of Culiacán. This report was filed at 1:00 p.m. in two simultaneous attacks.
The first report was filed on Cristóbal Colón Street, at the corner of Indio de Galata Avenue, where these three men were located. They had arranged to meet the two lawyers and the other person at the same location. The three men were surprised by several gunmen carrying high-powered rifles, who fired multiple shots at close range until they were killed. The three victims were left dead next to a recently damaged, armored black Volkswagen Jetta. While witnesses notified authorities, at the same time, the same individuals attacked a three-story residence located on the same street, almost at the corner of Indio de Galata Avenue and Jicotenca Avenue. These individuals broke down the gate and entered the house, only to be shot. The interior and the fire were set on fire during the incident. Two vehicles that were in the garage were completely burned, and although authorities arrived quickly, they were unable to locate those responsible. Paramedics also arrived. They identified and, at first glance, confirmed that these three men were already dead. They had multiple bullet wounds to the body and head. Two of the men were identified a minute later. Well, the three of them were identified a minute later as Carlos Mario, sorry, Carlos Omar, and Jesús Manuel, 50 years old. The other was named Alberto, Alberto, and Carlos Omar. They are the lawyers who were identified by their relatives. They were well-known in Culiacán. While Jesús Manuel is a relative of the owner of the house that was shot at and burned by the gunmen, it was only said that at least several vehicles arrived, one of them white. and they surprised the victims and shot them at close range. The explosions caused neighbors to hide in their homes while they notified the authorities. By the time officers from all three levels of government arrived, they had practically sealed off the area, but only to gather information because the perpetrators were not located, and only the investigations into them remained.
Three men were murdered, Samuel, when a report was received about another man executed with a message next to the perimeter fence of the old Culiacán crane boarding house, located on the Benito Juárez bypass, known as La Costerita, south of Culiacán. When authorities arrived, they found this person, who they said was of medium build and light brown skin. His hands were tied behind his back. They said he was wearing blue jeans with red pockets, white socks, and a black sweatshirt that covered his head. This person was not identified at the scene and was taken to the forensic medical service, where they are awaiting identification.
