Six young influencers, known collectively as "Bola Costera" and originating from Nayarit, have been reported missing in Sinaloa. The group was traveling to Mazatlán to film content when their vehicle disappeared. They departed from Tuxpan, Nayarit, early Wednesday morning in a white van.
Family and friends shared on social media that the last phone contact with the influencers was made as they passed through the El Tablón area in El Rosario municipality. The group of six content creators was heading to Mazatlán to collaborate with local influencers and capture footage for their musical content.
Relatives and friends are appealing to the public in southern Sinaloa for any information regarding the whereabouts of the six young individuals, as all communication has been lost. Their disappearance is occurring within a context of escalating violence in the southern part of the state, particularly in the Escuinapa and El Rosario municipalities. This region has recently seen incidents involving explosive devices deployed by drones and ongoing confrontations between rival criminal groups.
One of the missing influencers has been identified as Pablo Ángel Duran Renteria, according to a video shared by an individual named Enrique "N" from Mazatlán. The urgency of the situation is amplified by the dangerous environment in the region where they went missing.
