Mrs. Norma and her sons Everardo and Jordan will be wake in the community of Villa Juárez and buried on Monday, October 21, at the municipal cemetery of Navolato. This tragedy adds to the wave of violence that has plagued Sinaloa in the last six weeks.
District Attorney Claudia Zulema Sánchez Kondo reported that, following the capture and transfer of Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada to the United States, there have been 172 homicides and around 620 vehicle or business thefts in the region, figures that correspond only to cases under common jurisdiction.
Mrs. Norma's family was plunged into mourning due to the death of two young men in a confrontation between civilians and military in Sinaloa. Everardo Misael and Jordan Miguel lost their lives in Tepuche, north of Culiacán, as a result of the conflict between criminal groups 'Los Chapitos' and 'Los Mayitos'.
The bodies of the young men were identified along with four other deceased individuals at the Forensic Medical Service in Culiacán. The news of the tragic outcome devastated Mrs. Norma, who, upon learning of the loss of her sons, suffered a heart attack and died at the age of 50.
The violence in Sinaloa has left a deep mark on this family and in the community of Villa Juárez. District Attorney Sánchez Kondo has explained that the information disseminated corresponds to cases of common jurisdiction, while cases under federal jurisdiction, in which federal forces were involved, are being treated separately.
