Two girls killed in the mountains of Sinaloa, 119 shots fired, and 13 soldiers involved: The daylight attack no one wants to talk about

"Details of the investigation, to which EL PAIS has had access, shed light on this event an apparent case of mistaken identity which the government of Claudia Sheinbaum has barely addressed in recent months. The attack, which left two other minors and two adults wounded, revives concerns about trigger-happy soldiers, given the military deployment in the country in recent years as part of the strategy of successive governments in the fight against organized crime."

"Investigations were opened by the Attorney General's Office (FGR) and the Military Attorney General's Office. In the military case, the judge ordered the imprisonment of six officers. As for the civilian case, the FGR is handling the homicide investigation. That is the situation, said the army chief. Although military justice initially imprisoned 12 of the 13 individuals involved according to this newspaper's sources, on charges of disobedience six were released months later, judging by Trevilla's statements."

Thirteen soldiers fired 119 bullets at a family's SUV in Badiraguato, killing two young girls and wounding two other minors and two adults. The attack occurred amid expanded military deployment against organized crime in recent years. Both the Attorney General's Office (FGR) and the Military Attorney General's Office opened investigations. Military justice initially imprisoned twelve of the thirteen soldiers on charges of disobedience; six were later released while six remained imprisoned and one was never arrested. The government of Claudia Sheinbaum has offered limited public response. Ministry of Defense and army spokespersons did not reply to inquiries about detentions and case developments.
