Two rehabilitation centers for individuals struggling with addiction were targeted in shootings on the afternoon of Sunday, November 1, in Mazatlán, Sinaloa. The attacks occurred within a span of less than four hours in different parts of the city, resulting in three deaths and five injuries.
The first attack took place around 12:30 p.m. at a facility used as an addiction treatment center, located in the Felipe Ángeles neighborhood, near the intersection of Mayor J. Osuna and Acapulco streets.
According to initial reports, armed men on motorcycles arrived at the facility and opened fire on people near the entrance. Two residents—identified as 40-year-old Jesús and 25-year-old Kevin—were killed in the attack.
A third person was wounded and transported to a hospital for medical treatment. Municipal police officers arrived at the scene following a call to the 911 emergency line, while paramedics provided aid to the victims.
Personnel from the Sinaloa State Attorney General’s Office carried out the necessary investigative procedures to collect evidence and establish the circumstances surrounding the attack.
