Arley Pérez’s home attacked in Culiacán: the singer rules out Sinaloa Cartel factions being behind it

Amid the internal war that is fragmenting the Sinaloa Cartel, another name in regional Mexican music is once again in the spotlight. Arley Pérez, a performer originally from Culiacán, was the subject of an attack on Monday night, when armed individuals fired shots and threw a Molotov cocktail at his mother’s home, located in the Amistad neighborhood of the Sinaloa capital.

According to Ríodoce, the attack occurred around 10:50 p.m. on Paula Moreno Street, between Arroyo Número 2 and Socorro Astol. The two-story house, painted white, gray, and blue, has remained uninhabited for at least eight years. The attack left no one injured and no arrests were made, despite the operation deployed in the area.

However, it wasn’t until Tuesday night that Arley Pérez took to social media to comment on the events. In an Instagram story, the singer denied that the attack was related to the internal dispute within the Sinaloa Cartel, specifically between the factions identified as Los Chapitos and La Mayiza.

The singer explained: “My mother’s house was vandalized by two men on a motorcycle. You know the power that organized crime groups have in our city. If it had been a faction, they would do it on a large scale, knocking down the house if they wanted. This was an act of vandalism carried out with six gunshots and a Molotov cocktail.” Pérez himself clarified that the house is not being used and asked for no speculation regarding the incident, “let’s not fall into the games of a few.”
