Piedras Negras Independence Day celebrations

Overview

Independence Day celebrations in Piedras Negras, Coahuila, were marked by both logistical difficulties and a violent incident. The event, led by Mayor Jacobo Rodríguez, faced organizational challenges including poor crowd distribution, restricted access due to fencing, and technical audio failures.

Following the celebrations, a stabbing occurred near the Macroplaza 2 sports courts involving an 18-year-old man, David Alexander Esquivel Chávez. The victim required emergency surgery for a chest wound that perforated a lung. Authorities have detained nine minors, aged 14 to 17, in connection with a brawl and subsequent violence against security forces. Investigators are currently reviewing footage to identify the specific individual responsible for the assault, noting a suspect nicknamed ‘El Chamuco’ as a probable participant.
