A Friday, eh, that can be described as violent, a Friday where nine people have been executed in less than two hours. Information began arriving very early that two people had been executed on the Benito Juárez Highway near the town of Valbuena. Then another report arrived later that a person had been executed at the old toll booth near Culiacán, at the entrance to Culiacán.

In other words, it was an extremely violent morning. What we experienced here in the state was very violent this morning, and we’re going to have this reunion, which we’ll be able to describe as a Black Friday. In practically 2 hours, if you’ve asked yourself, “Violence has decreased in Sinaloa,” well, let me tell you, it hasn’t intensified.
May is the most violent month of 2025, and June, well, it’s not looking good, it’s looking very negative. And this day began with these two executed men who were found tied up on the side of the Benito Juárez Highway, known as La Costera, near the town of Valbuena, in the municipality of Navolato.
