Culiacán, Sin.- Mrs. Cecilia, who has not been able to have contact with her son Omar, only 17 years old, one of the young men who were in charge of washing the trailers in the yard located in the community of Leopoldo Sánchez Celis, belonging to Eldorado, where Raíl Alberto Carrasco Lechuga, better known as “El Chore”, was killed, is living moments of anguish.

Cecilia says that it was around 5:00 a.m. that her son called her on the phone and with cries of desperation asked her to come get him, since he was in the middle of a shooting.

“He spoke to me crying, yelling at me to come for him, because there was a confrontation, for him because the government had arrived and was throwing them inside”.

The young man’s mother said that, along with other minors, her son was washing trucks at the site.

Cecilia says that it was through the call that she heard the shooting and immediately went to the place, but she lost contact with her son and no matter how hard she has tried to communicate with him, it has been in vain.
Cecilia remains outside the cargo vehicle yard, however, no one has given her any answers about her son, so she demands information about his state of health and that of the rest of the minors inside the place.
Omar’s mother threatened to forcefully enter the protected area if there is no sign of her son.
