100 Days After Attack on Adiscusión

The article details the aftermath of a shooting attack on the digital newspaper Adiscusión in Culiacán, Sinaloa, Mexico, 100 days after the event. The attack targeted the newspaper's sign and a mural of its murdered founder, Humberto Millán Salazar.

Lack of Investigation and Impunity

Despite having some leads, including the identification of a potential suspect, Arnoldo Valle, the investigation has stalled. Authorities have not communicated with the newspaper, and there have been no arrests. The article points to a possible link between Valle, Héctor Melesio Cuén Ojeda (who died in a meeting with Ismael Zambada), and the Sinaloa cartel.

Ongoing Threats and Precautions

The newspaper has heightened security measures. Journalists work remotely, covering only events where security is ensured. They received bulletproof vests and cameras from the Mechanism for the Protection of Journalists.

The Attack's Significance

The director, César Millán, believes the attack was a warning rather than an attempt to kill anyone. The attackers shot upwards at the façade, suggesting they did not intend to directly harm anyone. Despite the violence in Sinaloa, the newspaper continues to operate but under increased security due to the constant threats they face.
