A shocking and gruesome discovery rocked Culiacan this Monday morning as reports surfaced that the criminal organization known as La Mayiza steals body from SEMEFO (Mexico’s Forensic Medical Service) to leave a high-profile intimidatory message. The body was found abandoned in the middle of the street, directly across from the Cuatro Rios Shopping Plaza, one of the most affluent and high-traffic commercial areas in the city.
A Macabre “Message” Local outlets El Debate and Luz Noticias reported that the victim showed signs of advanced decomposition and forensic manipulation that did not align with a fresh crime scene. This supports the terrifying theory that the corpse was illegally removed from official government custody to be repurposed as a psychological tool. Along with the body, a “narco-message” was found, in which the group claimed the murder as a finished “job,” using the remains to prove their lethal efficiency to rival factions.
Security Breach at State Institutions The incident has raised serious questions regarding the security of state-run morgues in Sinaloa. Investigating officers found evidence that suggests the victim had already been processed by forensic experts before being “retrieved” by the criminal cell. “This is not just a murder; it’s a direct assault on the dignity of state institutions and a message that no place, not even a morgue, is safe,” stated a local security analyst.
The Impact on the Public The Tres Rios district, known for its luxury hotels and business centers, was quickly cordoned off by the Mexican Army and National Guard. The display of violence in such a public and prestigious location is seen as a strategic move by La Mayiza to project power during the ongoing internal conflict within the Sinaloa Cartel. Authorities are currently conducting DNA tests to verify the body’s identity and confirm its prior status in the forensic system.
