Rubén Rocha Moya: Armed attack on former campaign headquarters in Culiacán
An armed group attacked a property in the Chapultepec neighborhood of Culiacán, Sinaloa, on the night of October 26. The residence, located on Francisco Márquez Street, previously served as the campaign headquarters for Rubén Rocha Moya, the governor of Sinaloa who is currently on indefinite leave.
The attack involved automatic weapons and caused damage to the building's facade and vehicles parked inside the property. Neighbors reported hearing continuous gunfire for several minutes. While elements of the Mexican Army arrived at the scene to check for casualties, no official report from municipal, state, or federal authorities has been released regarding the motive or the identity of the perpetrators.
This incident follows a previous attack in May 2024 on another property linked to Rocha Moya in the Las Quintas neighborhood. Additionally, on the morning of October 27, a man was shot while in a vehicle parked outside the same Chapultepec residence; he reportedly transported himself to a hospital for treatment.
