An influencer was taken from her bakery by a group of armed individuals. Carmiña Castro Salazar was at her cake shop when the men entered, forcibly removed her from the premises, and placed her into a grey van before fleeing. This troubling incident unfolded in Culiacán, Sinaloa State, Mexico, on March 29. As of two days later, Carmiña’s location remains unknown, and no arrests have been made regarding her disappearance.
A mother of four with over 6,000 Instagram followers, Carmiña is renowned for her vibrant custom cakes and desserts at Rosa Dely on Arjona Am bilis Boulevard near the city center. Besides sharing recipes and lifestyle content, she initiated her YouTube channel, also named Rosa Dely, in 2020. In her recent video, she discussed her gastric sleeve surgery experience. Beyond her online presence, she has pursued studies in nursing and aviation, showcasing her diverse career path.
Concerned friends and family eagerly await updates as the search for the 29-year-old continues. Authorities have initiated an official investigation labeled as a disappearance. When last seen, Carmiña wore a black blouse, pants, and trainers, with notable tattoos on her neck, right hand, and left middle finger.
Her most recent Instagram post featured aguachile, a Mexican dish, around 6 pm on Sunday, endorsing its taste from Pica-Mar. This incident occurred amidst the ongoing conflict between Sinaloa’s drug factions, Los Chapitos and Los Mayos, of the Sinaloa Cartel, escalating since September 2024.
Following the arrest of Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada by Joaquín Guzmán López, son of “El Chapo” Guzmán, the state witnessed over 2,900 murders, as per the State Attorney General’s Office data. Daily life in Sinaloa is marred by violence, including disappearances, thefts, and armed assaults.
Carmiña Castro’s disappearance echoes the recent abduction of Nicole Pardo Molina, also known as “La Nicholette,” a TikToker and influencer, taken by armed individuals on January 21 in Culiacán’s Isla Musala neighborhood. Fortunately, she was found alive three days later.
