Mexican authorities logged seven homicides in the western state of Sinaloa on Friday, the latest violence to plague an area where increasingly frequent shootouts are fueling fears of the possible start of an intra-cartel war.
The deaths bring the number of killings within the week to 19, after 12 killings were registered between Monday and Thursday.
Two people were killed in the capital of Culiacan, and five in the municipality of Concordia, both of which the statement described as places “where violent events have occurred between criminal groups.”
