CULIACAN - The trendy bars and restaurants along the main strip of the Mexican city overwhelmed late last week by an army of cartel gunmen slowly began their recovery over the weekend even as many traumatized residents still shied away.
While El Chapo’s Sinaloa Cartel successfully pinched off access at various points in the city, they trained their focus on Tres Rios, where Ovidio Guzman was briefly found and detained, but later released after officials realized they were outmatched. They said the spot marked the final resting place of a cartel gunman following what officials described as 14 separate, armed attacks launched by the Sinaloa Cartel’s convoys of pickup trucks against Mexico’s overwhelmed military at different points in the city.
“Right now, everyone here is in a state of panic, but Tres Rios will still be the best part of Culiacan,” he said. One of the most intense firefights took place on the block behind the restaurant where local residents said several military vehicles had stopped along a non-descript building with tall, white walls, in a bid to extract El Chapo’s son from a residence inside.
“They destroyed my bedroom windows. The walls, they’re filled with bullet holes,” said taxi driver Jose Manuel Uriarte, whose home is located just below the hill where he said gunmen had taken up positions to fire upon the military vehicles.
