He was admitted to a private clinic, where minutes later he died from gunshot wounds, after being shot in the north of the state capital.
Melesio Cuen Ojeda was shot tonight and admitted to a private clinic in the Chapultepec neighborhood, where he died minutes later, reported Sara Bruna Quiñónez Estrada, prosecutor of the state of Sinaloa.
It was said that the former rector of the Autonomous University of Sinaloa and founder of the Sinaloense Party was admitted to the emergency area of the clinic due to gunshot wounds to the body.
His relatives arrived at the hospital to be informed of the health of the Sinaloense politician, where minutes later they were informed of his death by the medical team that treated him in the emergency area.
El Sol de México reported that he was with his son on board a pickup truck near La Presita, in the north of the capital.
The murder is part of the fierce struggle that the UAS is waging in defense of its autonomy with the State Government and the Congress of Sinaloa to transform its Organic Law.
In this context, the State Attorney General’s Office has brought several legal proceedings before judges for alleged mismanagement of resources, the rector Jesús Madueña was removed from office and his son Héctor Melesio Cuén Díaz has an arrest warrant pending to be brought before the judge for alleged illicit negotiations.
Two weeks ago the director of Social Communication of Casa Rosalina, Arnoldo Valle, was the victim of an attack in the parking lot of the rector’s office and came out unharmed.
In July 2012, one day after the presidential election, his brother Alfredo Cuén Ojeda was shot to death.
