The Civil Guard has confirmed this Wednesday the location of the weapons allegedly used by the hooded men who killed three people in the shooting that took place this Sunday in the Huelva town of Isla Cristina, caused by a settling of scores related to family feuds between clans linked to drug trafficking.
Sources from the Civil Guard have reported the discovery of at least two weapons, which will be sent to the Ballistics Service for analysis. Once the technical study is completed, the weapons and the report will be sent to the judicial authority that is investigating the case.
Meanwhile, the police deployment continues to try to locate the perpetrators of the shooting who fled the crime scene on a motorcycle, which they then set on fire in an area of pine forests near a campsite on Isla Cristina to mislead the authorities. A fire broke out, but it was quickly put out.
Agents of the Civil Guard maintain an active search device for the murderers and also a deployment in different parts of the province of Huelva to avoid clashes and incidents between the rival clans involved in the shooting, as Benemérita sources have detailed to EL MUNDO.
The National Police have also been deployed in the Torrejón neighborhood and the Pérez Cubillas neighborhood, both in Huelva, where relatives of the rival clans could reside. The special devices next to the funeral homes have already been removed.
A 62-year-old woman, her 39-year-old daughter who was eight months pregnant, and a 16-year-old minor were killed in the shooting. There are also two young people injured. The event, according to researchers, is due to a "settling of scores", although "no hypothesis" has been ruled out. In fact, the two deceased women and the most seriously injured are relatives of the Baba, who is accused of killing a man in a shooting in 2024 in the El Torrejón neighborhood of the Huelva capital. The deceased minor, named Hugo, 16 years old, and another injured young man are completely unrelated to the opposing clans.
At the moment, the Civil Guard has not provided any information about the type of weapons used by the murderers, given the secrecy of the summary decreed by the investigating judge after the event, which remains active this Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the Unified Association of Civil Guards (AUGC) has criticized this Wednesday the "extreme abandonment, lack of protection and unsustainability suffered daily by the civil guards deployed on the southern border of Spain, where organized crime and narcocriminal groups act with violence and impunity never seen in the recent history of the country."
This has been warned by the AUGC after the "tragic and intolerable events" on Isla Cristina, with three deaths from gunshots, added to the "continuous and unpunished attacks on patrol boats, attacks with drug boats and direct attacks on agents in Cádiz, Huelva, Almería and the entire Strait area."
For the association, this shows that "criminal organizations have lost any kind of respect for authority." For this reason, the AUGC disgraces the Ministry of the Interior for continuing to respond with "inaction, propaganda patches and a worrying lack of human and material resources."
For this reason, "we demand the creation of a specific economic remuneration that recognizes the extreme risk to which the civil guards are exposed every day on the southern border of Spain, as well as the immediate restitution of the OCON-Sur. We cannot allow the Government to continue looking the other way while the coast and the surrounding areas fall into absolute lack of control."
In addition to the plus, the AUGC demands the "immediate adoption" of the Declaration of Special Singularity Zone (ZES) for the entire area of influence of drug trafficking in Andalusia and the Southern border, and the restructuring and recovery of the OCON-Sur. Finally, it calls for the "massive updating of material resources and a "hardening of penalties for attacks on law enforcement agents and effective seizure of assets from drug trafficking networks."
The latest fatal shooting, which occurred in a tourist town and a neighborhood located less than a kilometer from the beaches and luxury hotels of Isla Cristina, has caused a confrontation between the Andalusian Executive, chaired by Juanma Moreno, and the Government of Pedro Sánchez, whom he accuses of "dereliction of duty" in the face of drug trafficking.
However, the Government Delegation in Andalusia has taken pride in its management and has launched a barrage of data that would demonstrate that more is being invested in the fight against drug trafficking and that there are more police officers.
According to sources from the central Executive, since 2018, the central Government has allocated more than 190 million to the Special Plan against drug trafficking in Andalusia, which is already deployed in six provinces and maintains workforce coverage at 94%. This year, 38.2 million were allocated to this plan, 1.3 million more than in 2025.
Added to the investments is the increase in the number of members of the State Security Forces and Corps. Andalusia has around 30,500 civil guards and police officers, 4,096 more than at the end of 2018, according to figures offered this Tuesday.
