A seven-year-old boy died Wednesday as a result of the severe burns he suffered when a group of armed men torched the family home in northwestern Mexico.
Mexican outlets reported that gunmen allegedly tied to Joaquín ‘El Chapo’ Guzmán’s old Sinaloa Cartel stormed a residence in Empalme, Sonora, on Tuesday evening and dragged out the child’s father, José de Jesús Luna, 23.
The assailants subsequently went back into the residence and set it on fire with Molotov cocktails, trapping the defenseless boy, Dayron Luna Viera, his two-year-old sister, his mother and uncle.
The Sonora State Attorney General’s office said doctors at Guaymas General Hospital diagnosed the child with second and three degree burns to his body. At least 90 percent of his body was burned.
