Culiacán, Sin.- On Monday morning, June 24, relatives of the seven people killed after a gun battle that lasted almost an hour in the community of Leopoldo Sánchez Celis, Eldorado, went to the Forensic Medical Service (Semefo) to visually identify their relatives, confirming that among the deceased were Raúl Carrasco Lechuga alias "El Chore" and the 17 year old minor Omar alias "El Omarcillo".

According to the first reports that have been released by the family members themselves, the deceased who have yet to be officially identified before the FGR were:

1.- Raúl Alberto Carrasco Lechuga

2.- Omar Joaquín García Carrasco

3.- Juan Enrique Aragón Niebla

4.- Manuel Antonio Díaz Osuna

5.- Emmanuel Guevara Esparza

6.- Oscar López Silva

7.- And another one who so far has been called "el galleta" (the cookie).

It was also reported that a few moments ago they began the procedures for the declaration before the Attorney General's Office, which will be the one to deliver the official documents of identification and release of the corpses so that the families can carry out the corresponding funeral acts and it was reported that most of the bodies were neighbors of this syndicate.

It was also reported that all the men who lost their lives inside the property used as a trailer yard and parking lot for vehicles had in their possession and with them long and short weapons, as well as various radio communication equipment, ammunition and tactical equipment.

Among the weapons seized were some high-powered rifles such as the Belgian-made FN Minimi (M249) light machine gun, whose burst of fire reaches 950 rounds per minute, with a capacity to detonate 7.62×51 and 5.56×45 millimeter caliber cartridges, AK-47 rifles, better known as "cuerno de chivo" and long assault weapons of .223 caliber, as well as various short weapons of different calibers.

The reports also state that the bodies have multiple bullet impacts in different parts of the body, face and skull, so it is presumed that they were killed almost immediately during the attack in which there were hundreds of shots allegedly from both groups, While the property located on Vicente Guerrero Avenue and Venustiano Carranza Street where the confrontation took place, a Land Rover van was found with several bullet impacts on the bodywork and windows, and at least two grenades or rocket launcher projectiles were found to have hit the site.

Inside the property there were also found several classic vehicles that were stored in garages with electric gates, as well as other cargo vehicles that were also damaged by the bullet impacts, and the property was secured by the Attorney General's Office, which will continue with the investigations.
