Armed Attacks and Residential Fires Hit Culiacán and Tijuana With Heavy Damage

Authorities report no injuries as investigators collect ballistic evidence in Sinaloa, with Tijuana fire causes still undetermined.

Overview

  • Two near-simultaneous attacks targeted homes in Culiacán, including one residence intentionally set on fire, with no injuries reported.
  • At the Las Quintas scene, two vehicles were completely consumed by flames as police recovered numerous long-gun casings and the state prosecutor’s office carried out forensic work.
  • Security forces from municipal, state, and federal agencies secured the Culiacán sites while firefighters extinguished the blazes.
  • In Tijuana, a street-parked motorhome was reduced to ashes and a nearby car was partially burned; the fire was controlled in about 20 minutes and a nearby home’s power was cut temporarily due to a live severed cable.
  • Separate Tijuana fires consumed a house in Nueva Tijuana and two wooden rooms in Camino Verde, leading to evacuations and challenging access for crews, with causes still under investigation and no injuries reported.
