Tire Spikes Used to Target Culiacán Security Chief During Patrol

Overview

  • Municipal authorities said a suspicious vehicle on Avenida Ruperto L. Paliza in Colonia Guadalupe fled and threw metal spikes that punctured a tire on the secretary’s armored truck.
  • Officials reported no gunfire and confirmed Security Secretary Alejandro Bravo Martínez was unhurt.
  • The case was turned over to Sinaloa’s Fiscalía General del Estado to open a formal investigation.
  • In a separate case, the state prosecutor said an attack outside the Hospital Civil de Culiacán left four people dead and two injured, with multiple lines of inquiry underway.
