Grupo Sombra of the Gulf Cartel disseminates brutal executions in Veracruz

Sol Prendido Borderland Beat--source




Grupo Sombra, the criminal cell of the Gulf Cartel, broadcast a video in which the brutal executions of four hit men and a strong threat to their rivals in Veracruz are appreciated.

Because it is located in the coastal strip of the Gulf of Mexico, Veracruz is an area used by bands dedicated to the transfer of drugs and human trafficking; in addition, it has three ports of height and an extensive network of pipelines of Pemex that are milked by the huachicoleros of the entity

In the middle of the first semester of 2017, the Grupo Sombra broke into the municipalities of Tuxpan, Poza Rica, Coatzintla and Tihuatlán with narcomantas in which they threatened criminals, police and members of other criminal organizations such as Los Zetas or the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG).

At the beginning of 2019, Cuitláhuac García Jiménez, governor of Veracruz, accepted that the state is contested by six criminal groups, including CJNG, Cartel del Golfo and Los Zetas, while Grupo Sombra, 35Z and La Venda Avenger terrorize sites such as Coatzacoalcos and Minatitlan.

Video translation by Sol is as follows:
This communication is for all the grasshoppers of La Huasteca.For the last time to all the grasshoppers, [jumps side-traitor] extortionists and enemies stop fucking around. Otherwise you are going to end up like this gang of dumbasses. Alejandro Fernando Martínez where you at you faggot foal? You let them to die alone and the only thing you did was run. Stop aligning yourselves with other companies. Understand that here only we the Shadow Group exist and nobody else. It is the last warning for you: Yahir Arevelo, "El Canelo", "El Arabe", "Argenis", Eduardo Guzmán, "Topo", and you "Pandora". You will get dicked down even if you try to hide in Reynosa.
This Saturday, a video was broadcast in which one observes hitmen of the Shadow Group, hooded and armed with machine guns and machetes, together with four men who are on their knees, tied hand and foot, and blindfolded.

In the images, the members of the Shadow Group send a message to all the grasshoppers [ people flipping sides] of La Huasteca, extortionists and rivals.

They also launch a final warning to characters such as El Potro Fernández Martínez; Yahir Arévalo, El Canelo; Ariel Arévalo, El Árabe; Argenis; Eduardo Guzmán, El Topo; Pandora and Pocholo, to those who remember that the territory is commanded by them and by nobody else:
STOP ALIGNING YOURSELVES FOR PROTECTION WITH OTHER COMPANIES, UNDERSTAND THAT HERE ONLY WE EXIST, THE SHADOW GROUP AND NOBODY ELSE"

At the end of the statement, which lasts about two minutes, the hooded men throw their victims to the ground and cut them to death.

The video of the brutal execution was shared through social networks; however, so far the bodies of the victims have not been located.

    4. We all view the world differently. It’s not the drugs that bother me. It’s the evil that some commit under the influence of those drugs that do. Some of the best rock albums in history were created under the influence of drugs. Pink Floyd’s “The Wall, Slayer’s “Reign In Blood, Tool’s “AEnima”, Opeth’s “Ghost Reveries”, as well as countless others. I’m all for the creative process inspired by drugs. Just not the evil part of them. If the evil could be extracted from them permanently that’d be great. But instead what I’m seeing is so many people completely losing their freaking mind on dope. Power tripping and primal bloodlust just seems to be so damn prevalent lately because of said drugs. If people had more self control it wouldn’t be so bad. But look around and notice how it just seems to be so out of control. - Sol Prendido

    5. I blame the user as much as I blame the pusher. Nationalities be damned. To me it’s all the same. One can’t live without the other. If the user didnt crave the drug then the pusher would cease to exist. Now I understand why the authorities are so hard on both. Before I just never bothered to really look at the whole picture. And no I’m not a righteous dude. I’ve never claimed that. We all sin in some way. Just me thinking of trying to be perfect cramps my style. There’s actuall sin that I’m down for. But I mean come on, let’s at the very least have some type of self control. - Sol Prendido

    6. The righteousness of the city of Jerusalem is interesting....
      That city has been the center many religious groups... the birthplace of the Jews and the Hebrew Bible and the city has sites important to many faiths including Christianity and Islam... the Jews were there first but various empires have had control of it through wars and acts of terrorism... comparing the drug conflicts to the conflicts in Israel is a stretch and is only comparing wars and terrorism but not a fight of good and evil...terrorism in Israel is over land and religion and the terrorism in Mexico is over control of the drug trade and that is pure evil with nothing to gain except money and power...countries war and terrorize one another for various reasons, be it communism or Pearl Harbor but doing it to push drugs is not in anybody’s best interests...

What you expect this world to be Sol full of rainbows and flowers falling from the sky like the movies na man a marine that is trained to kill for a purpose is no different then a sicario trying kill as well killing is killing period this is Satans world bro dont you see all the satanism being publicized more then before on T.V in movies hell even the rap celebrity's put in their music videos face it this is the devils world this world never belonged to the good people. Everyone needs to wake up and smell the coffee every nation was built on some type of genocide my friend unfortunately the very same people who invented and continued these murder acts are the people running every president,every government, every politician . Royal blood line families very well exist and they run each and every country by its natural resources.

    11. True evil is Religion itself the brainwashing of human beings from the day they are born to believe this or that causing guilt and shame and fear so the churches can prosper and molest unpunished while the people suffer especially the yound and the old its sickening . Its caused more death and killing then all the drug deaths combined . Believe in yourself and practice common sense and self control and live your life how you want as long as it doesnt infringe on the lives of others . Keep your hypotheticals to yourselves . Have a great day and mind your own F-n Bizness . It is that simple . Let the faithfuls crying begin . Ill be listening to Slayer's Hell Awaits doing what I want when I want Fearing only myself and what Im capable of when confronted with idiots who choose not to use common sense but instead choose otherwise .

  2. I haven't had breakfast, I will pass on seeing the video. Actually send a copy to AMLO, he needs to see it. To show how blood thirsty these killers are, he wants to offer treatment to cartel members, instead of prison.

But once in a while people need a reality check so we can see what goes on and for people to think this is how you can end up.

  9. Fuerzas Especiales Grupo Sombra is a specialized kill team created by the Gulf cartel to eliminatae los Zetas. Once they attack the enemy only sees shadows moving quickly .They have been trained by rogue Mossad Kidon unit operative. The are mostly made up of ex GAFES,Marinas and Kaibiles. They are like the ninjas of the cartel.

    7. I think one of the first ones I ever saw was some poor naked guy hung upside down with his arms tied behind his back. His junk was promptly cut off then his throat cut. The whole time during his ordeal was this ridiculous classic Mexican upbeat happy-go-lucky song playing! Was totally fucked up.

      This was around 2006/2007?! Not entirely sure but the bad quality in the footage was evident which of course made it easier to stomach.

      Now what makes these videos worse is the advances in HD recordings.

      Delete
    8. One of the first ones I ever saw was also one of the worst one. I believe it was Los Zetas, they took several women and took their tops off while beheading them all in a row...the ages of the women ranged from young to old.

It's his screams you here, they slice up his back and ribs. Fuckin animals man, I wonder who they were and if they even belonged to a criminal organization. Sad shit.

    3. The young man in blue shirt seems to be alive screaming and moaning after about 25 seconds of recieving some machete whacks to the neck and axe treatment to lower body.. and the pico, pick ax to the back. Holy crap that dude lived the longest. Jesus.

      Delete
    4. They probably were not even involved in anything or if they were it was perhaps through some weak accusation/speculation of being in cahoots with rivals. Likely a few of them were or maybe all of them just happened to be random people in the wrong place at the wrong time who the cartel scumbags needed to add to their video to make more of an impact.

      I don't think they care who is starring in their vids most of the time as long as somebody is.

    1. I think they likely knew deepdown they were all dog meat I mean what cartel would show weakness by filming some guys captured then slapping them on the wrist before sending them on their way? Just doesn't happen. They were probably hinted at or told they'd just be shot and that it'd be quick if they just sat there quietly like lemons. How they lied.

      Bet it must had felt like an eternity waiting for the warning to be over. Horrible way to die.

  18. Good point. Some never learn. Get captured, and if lucky, die quickly. If unlucky, end up in a gruesome video being cut to pieces so the world your family and mom see you cut to pieces.

    To all the “pendejos” on every side. Don’t get captured, put up a fight and take as many with you before they kill you.

    Para los pendejos envolucrados en las pendejasas de carteles. No se dejen que los capturen vivos! No van a tener misericordia sobre sus vidas miserables, y el último recuerdo de sus familias será un video de ustedes destrozados.

Whether it's the guys getting chopped up or doing the chopping...they are all too stupid to understand the concept of working together to profit. This video is proof that the goal is no longer about profit or being the group that makes money...its about looking like the bad a$$...looking like your tough when you have people tied up. The goal of these idiots is to instill fear...thats it.

    4. I don't how to feel about this comment. It is bordering (Ha! I love puns) on racist with "after all they are all Mexicans." Well, I ask for you to consider the same thought process for Americans. Why so much gang violence? Why kill off competitors or why won't Hells Angels just get along with all Bloods and Crips or why don't Paisas in the prison just get along with all the other prison gangs? After all, they are all American...

      The brutality of these groups is nothing new and if anything, I would submit to you that video games get the ideas from them. Many groups are ritualistic and conduct these types of slaying a number of reasons. Some are signatures, much to instill control on the masses, as well as messages to opposing groups.

      No one truly "gets themselves captured" when it comes to something like this. These groups can be tactical and strategic. One of the reasons you will not see the captured run off could be pride and self-respect. Many know what is coming to them and if they accept or "take it like a man" they may be lucky and get a quick death. Others, if show no pride, integrity, may get a slower more torturous death...if you look into the sociological culture of the Mexican people, moreso males, you may get some insight on what I am refering to here.

      In the end, it is about full control and knocking out the competition by any means possible.

    5. Power, money, drugs. It's not any different than gangs in other countries including the U.S. The different is that they can get away with more brutality in Mexico in part because of the corruption. I've also found that life is treated differently in Mexico than the U.S. to an extent.

    1. 11:36, my answer to you is that im Mexican American. My parents have zero knowledge on what is going on in Mexico. They hear stories and say " ya no quiero escuchar eso". So in my personal experience many Mexicans dont want to hear or show interest on whats happening. Conversations on drugs/narco stuff is a touchy subject in Mexican households. As many of us including myself have one or two members that are involved ,were involved, are dead, or co-exist with these type of evil. They live in poverty areas like exactly where my family is from. Small ranch communities with no jobs. Just poverty and mouths to feed. So throughout the years this "war" has captivated alot of us. Belive me i dont watch these videos because im like "andele guey" im not a cheerleader, im watching because i want to be informed. Being informed on current events makes me wiser on decisions i make everyday. Im thankfull im American for one. Thankfull my parents left a long time ago. I can make a wise decision as to not cross that border.

    2. ***People watch for different reasons. I’ll speak for myself as a BB reader and commenter:

      After a relative was murdered, I came across this site and got information that no other site or the Mexican Press was providing, including the disturbing images. The insight of some BB commenters and multiple updates on this page kept me posted and was more than what I had expected.

      What is published including the inhumanity and torture serves as a reminder, that the barbarity in Mexico knows no bounds. It also serves as a warning to those intending to visit certain areas in Mexico, of the instability and lawlessness.

      We get the raw truth on BB weather one is in agreement or not.
