One of Three Soldiers Abducted by Hitmen Found Dead in Trunk in Guanajuato

"HEARST" for Borderland Beat 

Three National Guard soldiers were kidnapped by a cartel group in Comonfort, Guanajuato.


One soldier was later found dead in the trunk of a car, tortured to death, and another appeared at a hospital with a fatal gunshot wound.

Three Soldiers Abducted by Cartel Hitmen

At some unknown date, three National Guard soldiers from the 94th Company stationed in Guanajuato were kidnapped by cartel hitmen. The soldiers taken were 20-years old Marcos de Jesús, 23-years old Efrain Zavala, and 24-years old Pablo “N”. 


The abduction occurred during the soldier’s day off, according to Milenio newspaper, but the military has yet to release details about the exact date or location of the kidnapping.



We do know that all three men were stationed at a base in Comonfort municipality, a region which is believed to be controlled by the Cártel de Santa Rosa de Lima (CSRL), in a region hotly contested by the Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG) who are believed to control the municipality just north of San Miguel Allende. 


Then, on March 6, 2023, Marcos de Jesús, one of the missing soldiers, arrived at a hospital in San Miguel Allende in critical condition. The relative distance between where Marcos de Jesús was stationed, in Comonfort, and the location of the hospital can be seen on the map below.



Marcos de Jesús was severely injured, having suffered multiple gunshot wounds, and by the time he was officially admitted to the hospital, he ceased to have vital signs and was declared dead. 


Hospital administration notified local law enforcement about the incident. The soldier had been driven to the hospital by three civilians, possibly uninvolved bystanders, according to La Silla Rota. The people who drove him there were questioned by police and they described to officers the location where they found him, which was a remote region, near the small town of La Huerta.



The officers arrived at the location, described as a "dirt road" by Vanguardia, and they found an abandoned white Kia Forte with .223 shell casings lying nearby. The officers inspected the vehicle and found that there was a dead body inside the trunk of the vehicle. 



The deceased male wore parts of a National Guard uniform (who fall under the umbrella of SEDENA). 


Tribuna de la Paz says the body displayed "evidence of torture and gunshot wounds". Milenio writes that it has a gunshot wound to the head. 



The dirt that covered the body and the rope hanging from the vehicle has led some online to speculate that the man was dragged from a vehicle but it's unclear at this time if he had injuries that are consistent with this. 



It was later confirmed that the deceased male in the trunk was another one of the three missing soldiers, this time it was 23-year old Efraín Zavala. News publications Noroeste and Imagen de Veracruz published his full name and a photo of him in their coverage of this incident. 



Efraín Zavala's remains will be returned to his hometown of Infonavit Campo Real, in Tuxpan, Veracruz. His family plans to bury him in the local cemetery after a small ceremony. 


Pablo "N", the third soldier from the 94th company who was abducted alongside Marcos and Efraín, is still missing. 


It's currently unclear which cartel group, CSRL or CJNG, perpetrated this kidnapping.

  2. La Huerta is beautiful. Too bad the road in has become a dumping ground for bodies since a couple of years ago.

  3. I haven’t heard any news in the US where people getting kidnap by crips, bloods, Latin kings or itilaian mafias. I haven’t heard any news in the US where mutalated bodies dump on side road by crips, bloods or Latin kings. I haven’t heard any news about where politicians getting whack by gang members.
    Mexico is one sad country run by criminals. Do something Mexico. Can’t run your country like that.

    1. 2:24 Depends what you mean by “Italian mafias”. Italian-American mafia? No. But Sicilian Mafia in Italy? Yes. Pretty famous story of a guy who went to the government to snitch and they kidnapped his 13 year old son and beat and underfed him for 3 years before strangling him to death.

    2. Actually, kidnapping in the USA is a growing businesses, so much so that A&E did a special about it.

    3. Toto Rina operated different than most Sicilians. That violence is what really put an end to them. Just like it will the cartels in their time. Criminal groups and gangs come and go. It’s only a matter of time.

    4. We produce mass shooters, not so much serial sadists.

    5. Itialian mafias we’re big and pain for law enforcement days of Al Capone and John got to, and now they are not as powerful in the US. Look at the columbian history after killing Pablo, they got their act together and destroyed Pablo’s empire. Mexico has to do the same thing, no more status quo.

    4. 5:45PM - No hay que descartar CSRL. Las brechas de La Huerta conectan de un lado con Comonfort, y toda esa zona de ranchos sigue siendo de ellos.

    2. That's the 1st step for him losing control of his fucked cuntry. Once military colonizers come in, n setup house- worse than bedbugs to eradicate later. Mexico has to do it itself, but the greater common mexs are narcissistic, apathetic and just as corrupt as their neighbors.

  10. How do you get picks like that? They never show bodies like that up here in states. I’m talking about media reports. They may show you a location of the crime but no bodies laid out.

    2. Mexico's media culture is just different from the US. For example, Ciro Gómez is a famous newscaster and here is his coverage of this incident:

    2. The paragrah between photos, beginning with "the dirt that... online comments speculate..." alludes to the fact that these pics were seen elsewhere before BB posted it. Thanksd

  14. Typical stuff
    Like this soldier getting killed, 12 Police men ambushed 3 years ago(I am still waiting for arrests, action), in Michoacan. It goes to the back burner and forgotten, just like countless homicides.
    But when it's at a Border town close to USA, quick action was deemed of 4 US citizens, the US State Department got involved, the incident captured Nation wide attention , that ALMOs government was quick to act on it. That somehow the Gulf Terrorist Cartel, handed over the so called members involved, on a 3 ring silver plated platter, but not the actual White pick up truck, but a Black one. Talk about miracles.

  15. It’s a bit suspicious that the official narrative is that they disappeared on their off day. It’s weird how, at least the one in the trunk, is wearing his camo uniform. Maybe they didn’t go missing as stated? Inside job?
