Lucio R Borderland Beat From El Debate,  Linea Direct and BB Archives

Police sources report that Benito Portillo Torres, the alleged leader of a criminal cell operating in the mountains of Choix, Sinaloa, was killed Thursday morning in the streets of the colonia Las Vegas.

Benito Torres Portillo, is accused by authorities of Sinaloa and Chihuahua of being responsible for many violent events in recent years in the mountains of Choix,  during the leaders management of the drug trade.

The attack occurred in the early  hours of Thursday, which generated strong police mobilization.

The report confirmed that shortly before 8:00 am on Xicohténcatl street of the colonia Las Vegas two people were killed by gunfire.

Officials say the two men who were gunned down were aboard a dark gray Cruiser with California plates 6EUL244.  Two people were dead inside the vehicle. Authorities report that one of those killed in an element of the judicial police, which was identified as Manuel de Jesus Barraza Armenta 52 years old.

Portillo's brother Bernardino Portillo Torres, 24, was killed on March 4th,  in the Sierra de Urique, Chihuahua.


Benito Portillo had appointed  Bernardino in charge of Urique, Chihuahua, where he was killed when confronted by the militia.

In the same convoy Bernardino was travelling with Benito, who managed evade bullets and flee the area.

Since that event nothing has been reported about Benito until the news of Thursday that he was killed along with a former agent of the State Police, Jesus Barraza Armenta, after being attacked by an armed group as they drove through the streets of Culiacan

Benito Torres Portillo and his brother Vincent have both been identified as lieutenants of the gavilleros group in Chihuahua, that clash for possession of the land in the mountains of Choix.

Choix is a prime region in the cultivation of marijuana and opium gum.   Portillo Torres is accused of having ordered large convoys of gunmen, disguised as federal agents in different highland communities of Choix.

The first major conflict in the region now known for massive convoys and deadly conflicts, began on Friday April 27, 2012, in the community of El Pichol, which resulted in the brother of Adelmo “Lemo” Núñez, being shot and killed. 

Adelmo was the principal rival of Benito Portillo. 
Since 2012, Adelmo Nunez Molina has been targeted by the alliance of the Beltran Leyva brothers, because they consider him as a traitor to Alfredo Beltran Leyva, “El Mochomo”, who he pledged allegiance to after the boss had supported and trusted him before being apprehended in January 2008. 
That shootout was one of the bloodiest ever transpiring in the region, with reports of 50+ being killed.

    1. The hidden hand of the mexican politicians in power or out of power is behind all the problems, then it spreads to personal problems among the rabble...
      --I wonder if it is true that arturo beltran leyva and la barbie had the airport of toluca on the estado de mexico in their pocket, with partner genaro garcia luna, and they let peña nieto park "his" helicopter there, as anabel hernandez affirms...
      --AND that was the reason of arturo beltran leyva's downfall, peña nieto saw where the money was, and garcia luna delivered, but not as he had agreed with arturo...
      --Never trust a chilango or his promises, and if he is.a politician, from atracomulco, kill him before he bites you in the.ass...

    4. It's called cleaning house dumb asses. All the heavyweight organizations have been doing this since the beginning of time. It's how they stay in power. I could understand how the Sinaloa haters would say the stupid shit they do. Do yourself a favor and never get involved in the criminal underworld. Not because it's the right thing to do but because yall stupid AF.
