A video of the confrontation that took place early Sunday morning on Culiacán’s Malecón Nuevo, where one member of the National Guard died and another was injured, was disseminated on social networks.
In the recording from a security camera, it can be seen when shortly after 3:00 a.m., a blue and a black van are loading gasoline at a gas station, where members of the NG arrive and point their guns at them.
The drivers accelerated their march and started the fuel hoses, while the soldiers moved forward. Subsequently, the black unit returns and from inside it they shoot at them. Two agents fall to the ground. Later one of them gets up.
The incident occurred on Diego Valadez or Malecon Nuevo boulevard and Tauro alley, in the La Lima neighborhood in the city of Culiacan.
The authorities reported that during the incident one national guard died at the scene and another was wounded; three of the assailants were arrested.
