Culiacán, Sinaloa.- In the early hours of Thursday, January 23, the emergency line was informed of the detonation of an explosive device at the cenotaph of Edgar Guzmán López, son of Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán.
The incident occurred in the parking lot of the City Club, on Universitarios Boulevard, where the cenotaph is located.
The cenotaph was found almost destroyed at the site, only the giant cross that characterizes it remained standing with pieces of concrete lying around it.
On one side of the cenotaph was a blue 2015 Sentra vehicle, which was apparently affected by the same explosion, where pieces of glass and spilled gasoline were left lying around.
The affected vehicle belonged to a store employee, who said that he arrived early, parked as usual, and upon hearing the explosion discovered that his car had been damaged in its windows, bodywork, and gas tank.
It was at 7:30 in the morning when the loud explosion was heard in the Tres Ríos sector and the municipal police were the first to respond, arriving in 20 minutes.
Then the Culiacán Fire Department arrived to prevent the spilled gasoline from starting a fire. At almost 9:00 am, investigative personnel from the State Attorney General’s Office arrived.
