Gunshots were reported in a cemetery in Navolato during the Day of the Dead celebrations; three men were arrested

Gunshots were reported at the municipal cemetery in Navolato, Sinaloa, during Day of the Dead celebrations, causing alarm among families visiting graves. Emergency services responded after receiving calls regarding the gunfire, leading to the detention of three men who did not appear to be armed. One account suggests traffic officers detained the occupants of a vehicle for violating regulations, which resulted in a physical struggle and a request for backup. Authorities have not clarified whether the detainees fired the shots or if police discharged weapons into the air to subdue the civilians. The incident created confusion and fear within the community but has not been linked to any specific criminal organization.
