An 8-year-old boy died after the vehicle in which he was traveling with his parents was shot at in the Valle Alto subdivision in Culiacán.
The minor was identified as Cruz Ricardo “N”, 8 years old, who was wounded in the Valle Alto shooting and died hours later.
At 13:00 hours today the shooting was reported to the authorities, when the minor, his mother and his father were driving a recent model red Jeep Rubicon van on Alvaro del Portillo Boulevard and when they reached Valle Hundido Street they were shot at by armed and hooded men who were driving four recent model vehicles.
After the attack, they fled in an unknown direction, while the woman took the child to receive medical attention in a private car.
The child’s parents were unharmed. Experts from the State Attorney General’s Office are at the scene.
The vehicle had bullet impacts in the front window.
