Two state legislators from the Citizens’ Movement party (MC) were attacked by gunmen on Wednesday in Culiacán, the capital of the northern state of Sinaloa. Representatives Sergio Torres Félix and Elizabeth Rafaela Montoya Ojeda were wounded while in their vehicle near the boardwalk in downtown Culiacán. Culiacán is the locus of a fratricidal war within one of the world’s most powerful transnational criminal organizations — the Sinaloa Cartel. Rocha also contacted President Claudia Sheinbaum who authorized the federal Security Cabinet to take part in the investigation. The Security Cabinet analyzed video surveillance footage from the area in an effort to identify the attackers’ escape route.
