13 Men executed in Zitácuaro, Michoacan






The bodies of 13 murder victims, all males including 3 minors, were discovered in the pre-dawn hours of Monday in the city of Zitácuaro, Michoacan. The bodies of the men, who appeared to have been executed elsewhere, were left in a pile on the side of the highway that leads to the city of Huetamo, also in Michoacan.

Both cities are located in the Tierra Caliente region where the states of Michoacan, Guerrero and Mexico (EdoMex) meet. This area has been hotly contested by various organized criminal groups and Zitacuaro was also the site of an ambush by La Familia Michoacana that resulted in the deaths of 13 federal police officers.

All 13 victims appeared to have been executed by a gunshot to the head and all exhibited signs of torture.

At least 2 banners containing messages addressed to a person called “El Guero” from Huetamo were left with the bodies.

According to state ministerial police officials in charge of the investigation of the murders the men appear to be residents of the municipality of Huetamo, although their names have yet to be released.

According to Juan Carlos Campos Ponce, the mayor of Zitacuaro, the violence is a result of the conflict among rival groups for control of the municipalities along highway 51, including Zitacuaro, Tuzuntla, Tiquicheo and Huetamo.

“El Guero” may refer to a Caballero Templario lieutenant that controls Huetamo and does not appear to be directed to Gamaliel Aguirre Tavira “El Guero Huetamo”, an associate of La Barbie who was arrested in 2010 and is in now imprisoned.


Although the exact contents of the messages on the banners was not revealed, the photograph above of one banner shows what appears to be a signature of FMZ, which may refer to a La Familia Michoacana-Zeta alliance in the region.

La Familia Michoacana cells are active in the state Of Mexico, or Edomex, where they are involved in kidnapping, extortion and drug dealing. La Familia is also in a vicious fight in the northern Guerrero cities of Taxco and Iguala, where they are attempting to take control away from a veteran northern Guerrrero organized criminal group known as "Los Rojos".

The video below posted on YouTube in December shows La Familia sicarios interrogating a member of Los Rojos in Guerrero. La Familia may be gaining strength in northern Guerrero and la Tierra Caliente region of Michoacan and Guerrero.

  9. The American drug laws have caused more damage to more people than all the drugs ever used.

    They are not designed to prevent or stop someone from using drugs, but are designed to punish those who do.

    Drug abuse should be treated for what it really is: a medical problem.

    DUMP THE DRUG LAWS

    YOU WILL BE GLAD YOU DID

  10. If our goverments made drugs legal then the criminals who deal with it will have to increase crime elsewhere to make up the money they will lose. There is nothing we can do to satisfy these criminals hunger for money and power.

    If you want legalized drugs so bad I say we allow one state to legalize it first. Then we sit back and watch. Lets test your idea before we throw our whole society into it.

  11. I've been reading BLBeat for a few months now and I have to say the clowns that come in with the dump the drug laws are clueless.

    I love México and it tears my heart out to read these news stories.

    It will get better though.

    Viva la raza. Esto no es lo que es Mèxico.

  12. January 9, 2012 11:13 PM Drug abuse should be treated for what it really is: a medical problem.

    What in the fuck you are you talking about? I was addicted to hard drugs for 18 years, and the drugs destroy my life. Drug abuse is not a medical problem, is a lack of desire to live.

    If we dump drug laws we will destroy ourselves.

    DUMP THE DRUG LAWS....fuck no, you are not thinking of all the medical problems drug abuse creates on people, who will pay for all the medical bills of drug addicts?

  13. Didn't El Mamito say that they ain't allied to LFM since they betrayed them once? Also El Chango said the same thing in his interogation video. Confusing.

    Welcome back to earth. La familia joined los zetas and carteles unidos no longer exists. This happened a long time ago. The treaty between CDS and LFM only lasted a couple months until LFM decided it was a good idea to take Colima and Jalisco from CDJNG/CDS. This has been going on for a while.

    I guess you don't know anything about "moonshining" aka as illegal alcohol distilling. Here in Illinois I can buy liquor in any store but illegal moonshine is still pushed by the semi truck loads up here from Kentucky and tennesee. Those good ole boys are making thousands of $$ brewing up illegal whiskey, tax free. What will stop cartels from growing tax free cannabis?

    Saludos.

  17. Consumers will not smoke crappy cannabis from illegal growers if it were legalized one day. Cannabis smokers care how their weed is grown, how it was cures etc. wanna be smokers are the ones who keep dealers in business. Educated smokers will buy from the best supplier and say no thanks to crappy illegal stuff... California weed is the best, we dont need to buy illegal grows here.

  18. @11:50 what do u mean LFM took Colima and Jalisco from CJNG? As far as I've heard LFM doesn't own Jalisco, I have family there. CJNG runs Jalisco.

  19. Los Rojos are a group lead by Jose Nava Romero,he work with or for Hector Beltran Leyva.

    So the Beltran Leyvas are fighting LFM??

    I think its los Caballero Templarios the ones fighting for guerrero.

    Many people still confuse LFM with los Caballero Templarios.

    No one ever said they took the plaza, they thought it was a good idea to try and take it, CDS put a hit on LFM And LFM was forced to join zetas for protection. Most of Jalisco/Colima is under CDJNG/CDS control.

  24. "Consumers will not smoke crappy cannabis from illegal growers if it were legalized one day. Cannabis smokers care how their weed is grown, how it was cures etc. wanna be smokers are the ones who keep dealers in business."

    Unfortunately true marijuana connoisseurs only make up about 10% of the of pot smoking population. The other 90% are trailer park trash, ghetto gang bangers, broke high school kids, ect and most just want to get high and don't really care about the cannabis quality or how it was cured. Kind of like comparing two cigar smokers, those who smoke black and milds and those of us who enjoy Nicuragan hand rolled cigars.
