Culiacán, Sin.- After struggling between life and death, two hours after suffering a shooting attack at a used car dealership he managed in the southern sector of the city, this Tuesday afternoon, June 4, Rafael, 38 years old, better known as ‘El Peinadito’ died in the emergency room of a private clinic.
It was at 2:15 pm this afternoon when the command center was informed of the death of the young businessman, who was widely known in the capital of the state of Sinaloa, and later agents from the State Attorney General’s Office went to the hospital to confirm the death.
El Peinadito’ was shot with small arms at around 12:15 noon, when he was attending the used car sales lot El Peinado, located at the corner of Heroico Colegio Militar and Plan de Ayala boulevard, in the Emiliano Zapata neighborhood, and after the attack he was rushed to receive medical attention at a private clinic aboard a recent model red Chevrolet Spark compact car.
According to reports, it was a man with a robust complexion and who was covering his face with a balaclava who shot repeatedly at the victim when he was in the commercial establishment and in an attempt to save his life, ‘El Peinadito’ ran towards the Heroico Colegio Militar highway, but was hit by the bullets just as he was trying to cross the curb that divides both lanes.
Due to the multiple injuries he suffered in his back and skull, the young businessman fell face down on the pavement in an unconscious state, while the assassin fled the site in an unknown direction, since presumably when the murder took place the electric energy that supplies the video surveillance cameras of the State Government and the City Hall was cut off, so they did not record the homicide.
In the place of the attack and next to the luxury vehicles that are commercialized in said business of sale of units, there were several cartridge cases for short weapons that were secured by the authorities, and next to the body there were also other metallic cartridge cases of the cartridges that were detonated.
Upon arrival at the hospital, the victim was immediately operated on in the operating room area by about a dozen surgeons, but due to the serious injuries, he suffered the doctors could do nothing to save his life, after almost two hours of work they performed in a private clinic in the downtown area of the city Rafael died.
