On 6 June 2026, gunmen opened fire in the parking lot of a commercial plaza on Valle Alto boulevard in Culiacán, Sinaloa. A young man was shot dead inside his Nissan March and two other people were injured. The attackers fired from another vehicle, leaving multiple rifle casings at the scene, which were collected by state prosecutors.
