Isla Cristina shooting kills three, including pregnant woman

A violent shooting in the El Rocío neighborhood of Isla Cristina, Huelva, resulted in the deaths of three people: a 39-year-old pregnant woman, her 62-year-old mother, and a 16-year-old boy. An 18-year-old male, the son of the pregnant woman, was seriously wounded in the attack.

Two masked individuals on a motorcycle opened fire with a long-barreled weapon before fleeing the scene. The perpetrators reportedly attempted to destroy evidence by setting fire to their motorcycle in a nearby pine forest.

The Guardia Civil is investigating the incident as a potential settling of scores between rival drug-trafficking clans, specifically mentioning the ongoing feud between the Salazar and Moriña families. The attack is suspected to be linked to a previous fatal shooting in the El Torrejón neighborhood of Huelva in September 2024, involving a man known as ‘El Baba.’ The investigation remains under judicial secrecy.
