On the morning of March 26, security authorities in Ensenada discovered a “narcomanta,” or narco banner, hanging on the gates of Technical Secondary School 28 located along David Sokolow Boulevard in the Lomitas Indeco neighborhood. The finding was reported at 6:24 a.m. following an anonymous call to the Command, Control, Communication, Computing, and Quality Center (C5), prompting a swift response from public security officers.

At the site, authorities found a white piece of cloth with a message scrawled in black ink, allegedly directed toward police officials. The message threatened police officers who are reportedly involved with certain criminal factions.
