Home linked to journalist's publication shot at in Culiacán; no injuries reported

A home connected to César Millán Lafarga, owner and director of the digital publication Semanario Digital Adiscusión, was targeted in a shooting in Culiacán, Sinaloa. No individuals were injured in the attack, which marks the second violent incident against the outlet in recent years.

The communication group Adiscusión reported the attack to authorities, who have launched an investigation. The targeted property belongs to the late journalist Humberto Millán Salazar, founder of the digital weekly, who was assassinated in August 2011. His murder remains unpunished.

In June 2024, the publication's offices in downtown Culiacán were also shot at. No employees were harmed in that incident, which also remains unresolved. Adiscusión's management emphasized their continued commitment to professional, independent, and fact-based journalism despite these attacks.

The group strongly condemned the violence, asserting that it threatens personal integrity, family safety, and the free practice of journalism. They issued a firm call to authorities for a prompt, impartial, and transparent investigation to identify and prosecute those responsible.

“

We make a respectful, but firm, call to the authorities so that this attack is investigated with the promptness, impartiality, professionalism, and total transparency, until the facts are clarified and the law is applied against those responsible.
