In a defiant move against local authorities, the criminal faction known as Los Mayos proclaim themselves the authors of the attack on a police commander in Culiacan earlier today. The target was the City’s Public Security Secretary, who was ambushed and pursued by an armed commando shortly after finishing his shift. This open admission of the hit reflects the escalating tension between the cartel and law enforcement.
The Pursuit and the Claim According to Infobae and Latinus, the high-speed chase involved multiple vehicles and heavy gunfire. Intelligence reports indicate that “La Mayiza” openly claimed the assault through illicit communication channels, stating it was a deliberate move against the municipal command. While the commander survived the encounter, the event has prompted an immediate “Code Red” mobilization of federal forces to secure the city and respond to the cartel’s bold challenge.
