A confrontation that took place on the afternoon of Thursday, September 24, 2026, in the Gustavo Díaz Ordaz neighborhood—located in the southwestern part of Culiacán—resulted in the arrest of four gunmen who had returned fire, as well as the seizure of a property used as a safe house; inside, authorities discovered high-caliber weaponry, quantities of drugs, and tactical gear. Around 2:30 p.m., the 911 emergency system received multiple reports of bursts of gunfire in the Gustavo Díaz Ordaz, Aquiles Serdán, Libertad, López Mateos, and Independencia neighborhoods—an area home to educational institutions such as the Sinaloa Normal School, the Augusto Sandino High School (part of the Autonomous University of Sinaloa, or UAS), and Federal Secondary School No. 3.
