A total of 600 elements of the Mexican Army arrived in the city of Culiacan this Monday afternoon, August 19, to reinforce security in the capital of Sinaloa after the strong wave of violence that has occurred in recent days.
The 600 elements that arrived today entered in a caravan through the southern zone of Culiacan and were received by military personnel who live in the city to welcome them and join forces for the benefit of the people of Culiacan.
After entering the urban zone, the convoy of 600 military personnel made a reconnaissance tour to get to know some important points in Culiacán.
The 600 elements will seek to inhibit high impact events in Culiacán, such as the multiple murders that have occurred over the past weekend.
Violent weekend
On the afternoon of Friday, August 16, a man was shot at while driving a Toyota Tacoma pickup truck in the Cañadas sector; he later died in the hospital.
