Changuito Antrax Attacks Strip Club, Belico Piraña Dismembers Woman in War Over Manzanillo, Colima

"HEARST" and "Sol Prendido" for Borderland Beat

Sinaloa Cartel’s Changuito Antrax has been attacking and threatening certain businesses like bars and strip clubs within the Colima city of Manzanillo which they allege are selling CJNG drugs. 


After weeks of his attacks, a group calling itself “Belico Piraña” responded by leaving a number of dismembered bodies. Some of the deceased, they claim, worked at CDS drug sale points.





Quick Review of The Context Needed for This Story 


Rafael Guadalupe Félix Núñez, alias “Changuito Antrax” is alleged to be one of the leaders of Sinaloa Cartel (CDS) forces within the state of Colima. If you want to learn more about who Changuito Antrax is and his criminal history, please see this previous story.



The two groups which contest CDS within the state, according to federal intelligence presented at a presidential press conference, are the Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG) and its splinter/defector group the Colima Independent Cartel (sometimes called Los Mezcales). 


The leader of the CJNG forces is alleged to be Mencho’s son-in-law Julio Alberto Castillo Rodríguez, alias “El Chorro”. If you want to read his criminal history, please see this previous story.



The leader of the Colima Independent Cartel was the recently arrested José Bernabé Brizuela Meraz, alias “La Vaca”.


Rumors are currently buzzing that either La Vaca’s sister or one of Vaca’s lieutenants Carlos Miguel Meraz Mercado, alias “El Abulon”, have taken control of the group following his arrest.


According to the aforementioned press conference, the city of Manzanillo sits on a split between territory controlled by the CJNG and territory controlled by CDS. Remember to keep in mind the two nearby towns of El Colomo and Jalipa, which fall on the CJNG side, as they are mentioned in later narco messages.

The Threatening Message on Mexico Avenue


At approximately 6:00 pm on August 04, 2022, people walking on Mexico Avenue noticed that a narco message sign had been placed on a sidewalk at the outskirts of a shopping center in the city of Manzanillo.




A rock was placed on top of the message in order to prevent the wind from blowing it away. Colima Noticias reports that witnesses reported their discovery to the emergency line and officers arrived to cordon off the area. The sign was collected as evidence by agents from the state Attorney General’s Office (FGE).



The message allegedly read, as translated by Ivan:

Greetings to Tapanko,


You asked for attention and we gave you attention, but you are acting deaf. 

Keep laundering money for the Jaliscans. And keep letting Wero Gamer and the motorcycle taxis drop-off drugs at your local business. 

You really think that we don’t know that in your building bases of Crom in Santiago?  

We will see if they send you protection and take care of your locale, or better yet your employees, 24 hours a day, El Tapanko and La Diez.

From the waitresses to the dancers, they will all fall like flies; so don’t say we didn’t warn you. 


Sincerely 

Cartel de Sinaloa and Changuito Antrax


PS: To the narcotics squad of the FGE [state Attorney General's Office] in Manzanillo,

Calm the fuck down. Stop cracking down on people and saying you are protected by 04 and the governor!

Do they really only allow you to steal from us, while at the same time protecting Angel Barajas Caro? Why else would they only arrest Sinaloan people? 

El Aguado buys from a Michoacano that he lied to, saying he was from Sinaloa.  

And to El Pargo, Chicho, Beto, La Lupe, and La Fanny, 

We accept your challenge. We will now see if the 3 ministerial police and their gray truck will come to gun battle. 

Stop your bullshit and stealing!

The Threatening Message and Severed Limbs on Nogal Street


The day after the message was found on Mexico Avenue, another message was discovered, this time on Nogal Street near the central bus station of Manzanillo



A green sign signed by Changuito Antrax, with almost the identical message, had been placed alongside two severed legs and two severed hands. Authorities were called to the area and the location was cordoned off while evidence was collected.

The Threatening Message and Human Heart & Head Left in the Bellavista Neighborhood


A human heart and human head were found alongside yet another narco message sign from Changuito Antrax. The human remains and sign were discovered in the Bellavista neighborhood of Manzanillo. The message of the sign was in general the same, although it named some new people.



The content of the sign was in general the same, although it named some new people. The message was as follows, as translated by Sol Prendido:

This is what is going to happen to everyone who hangs out with the CJNG and thieves in Manzanillo!


We are going after 

  • El Wero Gamer 
  • Daniel Gaitán, alias ‘El Guacho de San Pedrito El Alto’ 
  • Carlos Emilio Alcaraz de la Pedregoza 
  • Chicho 
  • Pargo 
  • Lupe 
  • Húnga 
  • The moto-rats of Colomos 
  • Los Tutusis of Jalipa
  • 'El Guitarras' from Los Tinocos [a group] 
  • Morgan Casillas, who steals 'containers'
  • El Chavis de Bellavista 
  • Julian Aveldaño, alias ‘El Pocho del Vigia’ 
  • The fuel thieves, and one of their bosses is El Chilango

Let the war begin and let's see if you come out to the fight, like you’re always saying you will. And it's all the better that is happening now that “El Señor Oscuro" [the dark lord] is here.


Send my greetings to Tapanko and tell him to expect our visit when his place opens its doors.


From, 

El Changuito Antrax and his bloody [or evil, cursed] legions of the Sinaloa Cartel 


It's difficult to find out through research exactly who Changuito is referring to in this long list of enemies. But there are a few groups we can begin to identify. Like, take note of the “Los Tutusis of Jalipa”, which may refer to a local gang within the nearby town of Jalipa, which is located in CJNG territory.


Also note “moto-rats of Colomos”, which appears to refer to a motorcycle gang (that they call rats in a derogatory manner) from El Colomo, also in CJNG territory. Based on these two examples, we can get the general gist of what kind of targets Changuito is naming.

Attack on the Bar Botanero 21


A few minutes before 1:00 am on August 14, 2022, a group of cartel hitmen entered a bar named Botanero 21 in Manzanillo. The bar was a local hotspot, located on Miguel de la Madrid Hurtado Boulevard, right near the coast. The hitmen opened fire on the crowd, hitting both patrons and staff.


Videos of the shooting, like the one seen below, were later uploaded to social media. 


Video Source: Mr_Civico


The hitmen were said to have fled the area shortly after they stopped shooting. Cops were called to the bar and they found seven people - two of them women, five of them men - injured with gunshot wounds, all of whom were rushed to the nearest hospital to receive medical attention.




Later that same day, the state government of Colima made an announcement that two men who were suspected of being involved in the shooting at Botanero 21 had been arrested at a location they did not disclose. A vehicle belonging to the detainees was also seized.

The Attack at the Strip Club La Diez

A few minutes before 1:00 am on August 20, 2022, the strip club Le Diez was attacked by a group of hitmen who shot up the patrons and workers inside. It's worth noting that La Diez, located between Laguna de Garzas and La Costa streets, was a business specifically mentioned and threatened by Changuito Antrax in the narco message from August 04, 2022, making CDS the likely perpetrators. 


A surveillance video showing one part of the club during the attack, shown below, was posted to social media. The video contains no graphic content.


Video Source: Oscar Adrián Luna


Newspaper El Norte reports that four people inside El Diez were shot during the attack. One of the four, a worker, died at the location and another fled down the street, injured, trying to escape. All surviving victims were taken for medical treatment once the authorities arrived on scene.

Dismembered Remains Found

Grupo Belico Piraña, a cartel group, responded to Changuito Antrax’s messages and attacks by leaving the dismembered remains of a number of people, some of whom they alleged worked for CDS. 





The message was as follows, as translated by Sol Prendido: 

We’re all here ready…this should prove to you that we’re not hitting you from a distance. We’ve come all the want into your terrain and you failed to show your face. You faggot what happened to your claims about being so tough for your mob? This will continue to happen. We will continue to close off your businesses however many times it’s necessary. 


This establishment is the place where all your men gather. You’re being given anywhere between 30-50 pesos a month. In addition you sell your shit there….you like to attack innocent civilians because this is all you know how to do. 

Every stripper that continues working there will all be killed off one at a time. We will remove the skin off your face like the head that we’ve left as a gift for you on La Diez [the aforementioned strip club]. She was a drug pusher for those bitch ass Sinaloa’s. 


Sincerely,  

Grupo Belico Pirana GBP

[The Bloodthirsty Piranha Group]


There are currently rumors online that this group may be a subgroup or evolution of La Vaca’s Colima Independent Cartel. But this cannot be confirmed and requires further research.

    1. Hi J!
      Do you mean you doubt that's Changuito in the photo used for him? Or you doubt it's Changuito sending the messages?

      Delete
    2. That picture is not changuito for sure. Also big doubts he had anything to do with this.

      Delete
    3. My personal theory is that these few "known" photos of Changuito were taken from a fake social media profile which mixed in a bunch of random Antrax associated images.

      But, the "known" photos have been purported to be Changuito for so long - and no new photos have come out since - so we're kinda stuck.

      I guess I could switch to using the one from the press conference with the eyes blurred in the future. It's real tiny though.

    4. Changuito just wasn’t that guy and people change and come up but transforming into a bloodthirsty plaza cleaning crew, antrax were club kids and traffickers

      Probably didn’t happen, he’s more likely to be running a plaza in Sonora like Chavo and Cheyo

    5. @11:12am
      They showed his name, alias, and (admittedly covered) face as the leader of CDS in Colima at a presidential morning press conference this year.

      https://youtu.be/5BupRWll2EI?t=1824

      Look, feel free to doubt federal intelligence and question anything you like. A healthy amount of skepticism is good.

      But I don't really see why the feds would pick out Changuito Antrax, out of anybody they could pick, as the person they wanted to falsely accuse of leading of CDS in Colima. Because as you said, he’s not really that guy, so why would they pick him?

      Delete
    6. That was me above, I forgot the name.

      I just don’t see it, it’s one of those weird things like when in Acapulco they would sign Sinaloa Cartel to mantas and bodies or Chapo Guzman in Nuevo Laredo once in 2012, when it was just Gulfos. It’s a tactic, or someone in Colima was into Changutio Antrax and just took his alias.

      Delete
    7. Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were just some random commenter, J.

      I'll have to think more on this. I know the modern perception of Antrax is different then what they actually were like. People make them out to be a lot more powerful than they were.

      This day and age many fail to see the point when Police stop anyone of any race, most stops are with probable cause. A certain ethnic group, sems to be more prone to not following directions..when told to simply put hands up for officers safety. Instead people choose to make the situation harder, than what it should be. Split second decisions are made, when the criminal draws a gun and the police shoot. A traffic stop because the person was speeding, is stopped, the race card is thrown in, the cop is already labelled the bad guy, cooperation, would would keep many people alive.
