The bodies of five decapitated individuals were found on the morning of Tuesday, October 7, 2025, on the highway leading to the town of Santa María de Picachos, in the municipality of Huajicori, in the northern part of the state of Nayarit.

On the evening of October 7, 2025, the Nayarit State Attorney General's Office (FGE) confirmed the events and stated that municipal authorities had discovered the bodies.

The state law enforcement agency reported that, at that time, the victims had not been identified and did not provide further information about what happened. However, local media reported that the bodies were those of five men and were found inside a vehicle.

As recalled by the newspaper El Universal, since 2024, a dispute between the Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartel (CJNG) and “Los Mayos” - a faction of the Sinaloa Cartel, linked to the Sinaloa kingpin Ismael Mario Zambada García, alias “El Mayo”, 76 years old, who is imprisoned in the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York (MCC New York), and led by Ismael Zambada Sicairos, alias “El Mayito Flaco” - had caused the displacement of residents from several communities in this municipality, which borders Sinaloa.

For his part, Nayarit Governor Miguel Ángel Navarro Quintero, also quoted by El Universal, stated that security on the borders with other states, such as Sinaloa, Durango, Jalisco, and Zacatecas, was complicated. He revealed that he had summoned all municipal presidents and public security directors on Thursday, October 9, 2025, to speak with them regarding the alleged "floor charges" that were occurring at some fairs organized by city councils, which resulted in the strengthening of criminal groups taking root in the state.

"Sometimes fairs are a risk when people gather there whose purposes we don't know, and the worst thing is that they develop a sense of belonging to a criminal group. I cannot allow that. The state's citizens belong to the state, and I cannot allow Nayarit to be a battlefield for criminal groups, under any circumstances," the state governor stated.
