On the dawn of this Sunday, June 15, 2025, a heavy armed confrontation occurred in the Tierra Blanca sector north of Culiacan, Sinaloa. This time, there is one hundred percent confirmation that Los Ranas, an armed wing of Los Chapitos, suffered casualties and a defeat at least in this clash. Los Ranas were involved in a shootout against Fuerzas Especiales Vitache, who were once aligned with Los Chapitos, but decided to switch sides to join the Fausto Isidro Meza Flores "Chapo Isidro" organization. El Vitache leads the Fuerzas Especiales Vitache armed wing that once controlled San Ignacio, Sinaloa. 

The key takeaway in the following clash is that it occurred in the middle of an urban area, obviously surrounded by homes, in which armored trucks with embedded high-caliber weapons were used. The three armored trucks chasing down Los Ranas members belonged to Los Vitaches.

Los Ranas suffered at least three casualties.
