Shootings continue in Mazatlán Centro despite massive Marina & National Guard deployment
Another shooting hit the heart of Mazatlán this afternoon. A 52-year-old man known as “El Monstruo” was shot near Parque Martiniano Carvajal, just one day after two men were killed at Teniente Azueta and Constitución.
This comes on top of three robberies in one day, armed vehicle hijacking attempts, and an attack inside a gated community — all while thousands of Marina and National Guard troops are deployed under Operativo Verano Seguro.
July closed with 36 homicides in Mazatlán, the highest month of the year.
With so many federal forces on the ground… why is this still happening?
