Intense gunfight, burning vehicles paralyze capital of Mexico's Sinaloa state after troops locate one of Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán's sons.
An intense gunfight with heavy weapons and burning vehicles blocking roads paralyzed the capital of Mexico's Sinaloa state Thursday after security forces located one of Joaquín"El Chapo" Guzmán's sons who is wanted in the U.S. on drug trafficking charges.
"With the goal of safeguarding the well-being and tranquility of Culiacan society, officials in the security cabinet decided to suspend the actions," said Durazo. But Ovidio Guzmán was indicted in 2018 by a grand jury in Washington, along with a fourth brother, for the alleged trafficking of cocaine, methamphetamine and marijuana.
"Nothing is working," said Ricardo González, a worker in the state's congress who shut himself up in his house after picking up his 15-year-old son from school."There is a psychosis. No one knows what is going on but everyone is afraid and they have told us to not come in to work tomorrow."
