In the confrontations that has been going on since last Friday between members of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) and Cartel de Sinaloa (CDS) in the municipality of Chicomuselo in the Sierra region of Chiapas, 11 people have been killed in the Nuevo Morelia community. Among them two servants of the Catholic Church, informed sources from the Diocese of San Cristóbal de las Casas.
The State Attorney General's Office confirmed in a very brief communiqué the homicide of the 11 people; murders that it assured were registered in the last hours in the community of Morelia.
The agency affirmed that the Inter-institutional Group (Army, National Guard), headed by the State Attorney General's Office (FGE) through the Prosecutor of the Public Prosecutor's Office of Chicomuselo, carried out the removal of the bodies, making a medical examination of the bodies and carrying out the identification of the bodies with the family members.
He pointed out that in order to guarantee peace in the area, investigations are being carried out by the Inter-institutional Group made up of personnel from the Mexican Army, National Guard and police, who are patrolling the region in order to determine who is responsible.
The diocese of San Cristóbal de las Casas reported that it is compiling the information and will probably issue a statement, although “communication with the area is difficult and also today they are attending to the funerals” of the murdered residents.”
The source who requested anonymity said he did not know how the events occurred, because there is little communication with the area, in part, because one of the groups damaged the infrastructure of the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) and several communities don’t have electricity.
Residents of Chicomuselo reported on Sunday that since Friday there have been clashes between members of organized crime gangs, and that they have heard reports that there have been several deaths, but so far no government agency has confirmed it.
For three years, drug trafficking cartels have been fighting over the Sierra and border regions of Chiapas, bordering Guatemala, causing executions, confrontations, disappearances, forced displacement, collection of land rights, burning of vehicles, suspension of public transportation and constant road blockades.

If he accepted the US government's agreement, El Mencho's son would have received a sentence of 40 years in prison instead of life in prison.
Rubén Oseguera González, El Menchito, decided to go to trial after rejecting the last offer made to him by the US government of a plea deal.
The son of one of Mexico's most notorious drug traffickers, Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, El Mencho, refused to negotiate a deal that included a recommendation that the sentence be 40 years in prison, instead of life in prison, in exchange for pleading guilty to two charges against him.
During the hearing, held on Monday, May 13, the US government formally presented its latest offer for a plea deal, and after it was rejected it was established that the first hearings to prepare for his trial will be in September.
The Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Section of the Department of Justice reported in a memorandum the details of the settlement offer, which was discussed with El Menchito and his defense personally at least on April 9 and 25.
What did the agreement that they proposed to 'El Menchito' imply?
The agreement involved Oseguera González pleading guilty to the two charges against him: conspiracy to distribute cocaine and methamphetamine and use or possession of a firearm in connection with narcotics crimes.
On the other hand, it also implied that Oseguera could be sentenced to life in prison or eventually be granted parole with residency in the United States.
The government, for its part, proposed to recommend to Judge Beryl A. Howell, leading the case, a sentence of 40 years in prison, the minimum punishment for the charges against him, given the potential life sentence that he could suffer in case he goes to trial without the intervention of prosecutors.
The government even proposed accepting the mitigating circumstance that the defendant accepted his responsibility and pleaded guilty, which would have helped in a decrease in the level of the offense, and perhaps in his sentence.
But the agreement didn’t convince El Mencho's son. “He has rejected the government's offer and our trial scheduled for September is confirmed,” El Menchito's lawyer, Anthony Colombo, explained to MILENIO.
How did the US government act?
This time, the US government acted with greater caution, just over a year ago, El Menchito retracted a first collaboration agreement one day before; Therefore, Monday's hearing was held under a record that would allow past plea offers to be established.
“The United States government requests that the Court require the defendant to personally accept that he understands the offer, that he has considered it with the advice of his defense, that his decision is conscious and voluntary, and that he then establish in the record his desire to plead guilty or diminish his right to a trial in this case,” the US government requested before today's hearing.
At the beginning of 2023 the United States government and El Menchito's defense were preparing to go to trial, but in March Oseguera González requested a hearing in which he announced that he was prepared to reach a plea agreement.
On March 11 of the same year, one day before the appointment, the United States prosecutor's office accused that relatives of Oseguera González had requested to present a new lawyer, Arturo Hernández, as part of the defense of the accused.
The next day, El Menchito retracted his intention to plead guilty and said he intended to go to trial.
Oseguera González was arrested on June 23, 2015 in Zapopan, Jalisco, after a coordinated operation between the Mexican Army and the Federal Police.
It was the third time he was detained, although on this last occasion he was unable to obtain his freedom. He was extradited to the United States in February 2020.

Criminals shot at the customers of a beer warehouse from two cars, a situation that was recorded on video. This is the third attack in the area in less than two weeks.
An armed attack at a beer warehouse in Huitzilac, Morelos, left eight people dead on Saturday, according to local media. A video of the attack, apparently recovered from a security camera, shows how several people arrive in two vehicles at the warehouse and immediately shoot indiscriminately at the customers. It is the third armed attack in the municipality in less than two weeks. Neighboring the capital, Morelos has become one of the most violent states in Mexico.
The images are terrible, literally and symbolically. The mere fact that a group of criminals arrived at a beer warehouse on a Saturday night to shoot at customers speaks of the prevailing insecurity in the state. Also of impunity. But the case actually transcends state borders: Mexican society has seen similar videos dozens of times in recent years, in different parts of the country. It is a Mexican war of everyone against everyone - between criminal groups, criminals, and authorities, etc.- that has been going on for almost 20 years and is increasingly being transmitted live on social networks.
The Morelos Prosecutor's Office reported on the case this Sunday, in a brief statement, stating that it is investigating the attack. “Personnel [from the agency] went to a commercial establishment with the company name “Depósito Huitzilac”, located on Benito Juárez Street in the La Purísima neighborhood, where the bodies of four men were located, with injuries caused by gunshots. And it was learned that four more men were transferred to hospitals in the municipality of Cuernavaca,” the statement reads. Those four died hours later.
The Prosecutor's Office indicates that several of the dead are from Huitzilac and one more from the nearby town of Tepoztlán, one of the most important tourist destinations in the north of Morelos. The attack is surprising, in view of the two that have already been registered in the same area in recent days. On May 1, criminals murdered three people in Tres Marías, part of Huitzilac, an important gastronomic corridor, a mandatory stop for many travelers coming and going from Mexico City to Cuernavaca, Chilpancingo and Acapulco.
Days later, on May 10, gunmen shot three other people in Tres Marías, two who were in a car, next to the restaurant area, and one more, who was hanging out in one of the establishments. Between both attacks, criminals killed a woman who was traveling in her truck, also near Huitzilac. And while all this was happening, in nearby Cuernavaca, criminals entered a hospital and murdered a patient... This year, murders have increased in Morelos, as have other high-impact crimes, such as kidnappings.
The municipal president of Huitizlac, Rafael Vargas, has published a video on social networks referring to the attack. “It is a regrettable night for our municipality. The city council condemns all acts of violence. We demand all the support from the federation and the State to reduce the rates of violence. And to the Prosecutor's Office, the prompt clarification of the facts, to find those responsible. The City Council is willing to collaborate. The violence must stop. We will denounce all types of defamation and comments that seek to harm our people for political purposes. The support of the federal and state governments is urgent,” he said.

Unlike other drug traffickers, 'El Ratón' has only had one known partner: Adriana Meza Torres, the mother of his three daughters.
More than a year has passed since Ovidio Guzmán López, alias 'El Ratón', lost his freedom and his leadership at the head of the Sinaloa Cartel. The youngest son of all the men of Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán is being held in the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Chicago, awaiting his trial and far from his greatest treasure: his three daughters and his wife.
Although there are few known personal details of the youngest member of Los Chapitos, various journalistic reports indicate that he is the least controversial character of the quartet.
And unlike his brothers or other members of organized crime, Ovidio Guzmán kept a low profile and it is even said that he didn’t like to show off luxuries or any proof of his illicit profits.
Another aspect for which 'El Ratón' has stood out within the history of the Sinaloa Cartel is his little interest in women. In this regard, and in an interview with INFOBAE MÉXICO, journalist José Luis Montenegro revealed little-known details about his only known relationship: the one he has with Adriana Meza Torres.
Together for more than a decade: this was the relationship between Ovidio and Adriana
According to the author of the book Los Chapitos: criminal radiography of the heirs of the Sinaloa Cartel - published in March 2024 under the Penguin Random House Publishing Group - the Guzmán Loera family and their descendants have been characterized in drug trafficking, among other things, because its nerve center is women.
Along these lines, he reveals that, in turn, Ovidio Guzmán has been a “rare” character within the Sinaloa Cartel because of the love he professes for Meza Torres; even more so because despite the problems they have faced at some points in their relationship, he was always faithful to her.
“There are some unpublished conversations that a source tells me in which Ovidio approached his father ('El Chapo' Guzmán) on several occasions, while the brothers were there, in a house in Mazatlán, and cried. He told him: Dad, I can't do it, I'm very tired, I have a lot of relationship problems. And he was talking about his relationship with Adriana Meza Torres,” Montenegro told this media outlet.
The communicator, in recent months, announced an investigation carried out on the descendants of Guzmán Loera. In his work he reveals details not only of 'Los Chapitos', but also of the little-known daughters and sons of his first two marriages.
“Ironically, ‘El Chapo’ Guzmán, with countless women in his history, gave marriage advice to his son, who was having a hard time in his thirties. So it is ironic, he suffered a lot from the strong character that Meza Torres has that we remember, she is the daughter of a character also very close to Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada," he added.
Even less is known about Adriana Meza Torres.
Reports indicate that she is the daughter of Raúl Meza Ontiveros, alias 'M-6′, a member of great importance for the Sinaloa Cartel who was murdered on March 27, 2007 in the residential area of Monte Bello, Culiacán.
Her brother, Raúl Meza Torres, known as 'El Mini-6', also entered the drug business but received the same fate as his father. He died during a confrontation with municipal police from Zapopan, Jalisco, at the age of 18.
Her family's relationship with the senior leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel would have caused her, at an early age, to meet and fall in love with Ovidio Guzmán.
“Between 2010 and 2012, Adriana would have strengthened her romantic relationship with Ovidio Guzmán. Since then, the couple was inseparable despite the woman's constant jealousy problems,” Montenegro revealed in her most recent work.
Jealousy and physical attacks
According to Montenegro in Los Chapitos: criminal x-ray of the heirs of the Sinaloa Cartel, most of the couple's problems originated from the jealousy of Meza Torres, who is also said to have physically attacked the young capo.
“A source close to the couple said that Meza Torres physically abused El Chapo's son. 'He never dared to raise his hand to his wife. The thing is that she was the bitch. From time to time, she zapped him in public,' she said (sic),” Montenegro revealed.
This information agrees with the statements of Dámaso López Serrano, the 'Mini Lic', who in October 2023 revealed never-before-known details of Los Chapitos to journalist Anabel Hernández.
“He was very bossy, his wife completely dominated him. I've known them since we were young. I saw that relationship since they were dating, I know Adriana and Ovidio completely, and I got to see everything firsthand. All their arguments,” said the former drug trafficker.
Like Montenegro's source, the son of Dámaso López Núñez, 'El Licenciado,' said that before they got married, Meza Torres used to beat Guzmán López.
"Ovidio was very quiet, I remember Adriana going out to parties, to nightclubs, well, as any woman can do," he added.
It is worth mentioning that together with Meza Torres, 'El Ratón' had three daughters: Adriana, Griseli and María Joaquina. It is said that they would have been the cause of the National Defense Secretariat (Sedena) capturing him on January 5, 2023 during an operation in Jesús María, Culiacán.
"El Ratón' escaped from the area, leaving his family adrift, but it was a phone call from Meza Torres that made the young drug lord return to his hideout. (...) In a moment of desperation, according to a source, Meza Torres took his cell phone and dialed El Chapo's son: 'Griseli had a nervous breakdown. I can't control her.
Ovidio simply hung up the phone after sending a message of hope to his wife: "I'm on my way," said Montenegro.

Conversations online have been had with anonymous sources in trying to determine the actual identity of Ocran Leaks. Between us all we deduced that Ocran Leaks is none other than Dámaso López Serrano aka El Mini Lic. The conclusion we came to was fairly easy to make. But nothing else came about it until a person by the name of Camilo Ochoa released his video online.
Camilo Ochoa is originally from Mazatlán Sinaloa. And he use to be a part of the drug trafficking business. He was once in charge of the Mazatlán plaza between 2014 and 2015. In addition, he was also imprisoned for seven years due to trafficking. Borderland Beat has consulted with a Cartel de Sinaloa source who verified to us that Camilo Ochoa would lead a 50 vehicle convoy during his time in the drug game.
Mr. Ochoa became an online content creator after having apparently left the Mexican drug world behind him. And he didn’t have any problems whatsoever putting Dámaso López Serrano aka El Mini Lic on blast for the alleged lies that he’s been claiming on his Youtube channel. Up until now no one had ever challenged anything that Orcan Leaks has claimed. Camilo Ochoa makes it explicitly clear that there’s more than one side to every story being told online.
I'm currently in the town of El Dorado strolling at ease. In the terrains where you can't come to anymore. I want you to see this. Mini Lic, this is what you let go, what you let go. Because you chose to shine a light on all of this, because you couldn't show respect, because you placed anger into your father's head, El Licenciado. You might as well take off that balaclava.
The whole world already knows who you are. I don't have a need to be hiding the way that you're doing it. We're currently here in your hometown. Well, what was once your hometown. I can travel here and in Mazatlán. Pretty much wherever I so choose. I'm all over the Republic. With nothing to fear. And why is that? It's because I do things the right way.
I know how to have respect. The hierarchy is to be respected sir. You're claiming that I'm upset. But that's just isn't the case for anyone out of Mazatlán. You guys tried to proclaim yourselves as the bosses of everything. But that's where you lost it all. And so here we are currently. And I'm on my way to your houses, I'm on my way to your houses.
So, that I can see the state of those fucking small houses you left here. Along with the properties that you took away from the citizens and everything that goes with it. Luckily for those home owners their homes were eventually returned to them.
Hello everyone, how are you? Good evening to everyone. My name is Camilo Ochoa and what you’ve just seen is the beginning. Here’s the deal. If you scratch on a tigers nuts. Well, you have to brace yourself for what happens next. Ocran Leaks, why are you scratching or measuring the girth on these nuts if you already know what I’m about?
Ocran Leaks aka The Little Bitch, The Coward Fuck, or El Mini Licenciado as many people seem to know you by. Let’s talk. But let’s talk about things that are true. Not the lies that you’ve said. We’re not gonna discuss the lies that you talked about when you claimed that El Oso, El Javi, and I wanted to extort my own family members.
There’s a big difference here. My father always gave me everything I ever wanted. My dad offered me everything that he had on the condition that I leave that world behind. But nevertheless I have what I have because of me. It’s not because someone gave it to me. Despite all of this my father left me an inheritance and I haven’t touched any of it. You said that bullshit. And for what, to make me look bad?
Let’s talk about realities though. You tried to once again mess with me. You and your father, both of you. I’m not the one who ran away from here. Well, in a panga boat towards Mexicali. I didn’t make an exit in a panga boat. Or did I? I wasn’t the one who asked my compadre for 5 million pesos when I left to Mexicali in a panga boat.
But you did. I didn’t have to pawn my properties for 17 million pesos so that I could settle my payrolls. But you guys did. And when exactly did all of this happen? It was when everyone turned their backs on you because you refused to pay them. You betrayed their trust and didn’t know how to show respect. You know what your dad’s worst mistake was?
It was him having allowed you to fill his head with lies. And if you think that you’re going to fill people’s heads with lies in the manner that you’re accustomed to, if you think that you’re going to fill people’s heads with lies. Well, no, you’re wrong about that. We’re going to open their eyes to the truth here. We’re not going to discuss something that is a lie, that of a daydreamer. You’re the daydreamer.
Let’s talk about the 'party bus'. Do you remember the party bus? Where, besides you being a fag. I respect everyone from that community. But this asshole (Mini Lic) hasn’t accepted that he’s a faggot. Let’s talk about this, about the party bus and how you would go to Culiacán. Everyone was naked in that party scene. Let’s talk about El Capo, your secretary. Who had to be placed into a rehab center.
And why did this happen? Because you wanted to have him criminally prosecuted. Why did you want to prosecute him? Oh my God! It’s in these moments where you find out about a person having a weak mind. You come to find out about the abundance of weakness in a persons mind after having been given power. You see how it affects them.
It’s very dangerous to see someone go from having nothing to suddenly having power. Let’s talk about Carlita Contreras. Do you remember Carlita Contreras? Let’s discuss the journalist Javier Valdez. By the way, El Koala and El Quillo send you their greetings. El Koala has already accepted that you, yes you, Ocran Leaks, El Licenciado, El Mini Lic, or as you’re now known to everyone, El Licenciado.
You tried to get involved, you tried to once again mess with me. Ok. I’m not gonna be messed with. And I say how things really are. Did you like that intro I just did you dick? That’s just the beginning. Let’s have a conversation about Cesar Milan. We’re gonna be discussing many other things also.
Your friend, your cousin, Mario aka La Liebre. Do you remember that he once had communication with me? May he rest in peace. Because he was prosecuted. Do you remember this? Well, whenever you’d get too damn high and because you didn’t have any control. You liked to stick your own fingers inside of yourself. You just couldn’t control yourself.
Every time you got high, which lasted for several days, you wanted to have everyone criminally prosecuted. An example of this would be the individuals you had prosecuted outside of the nightclubs. There’s also that one time at a nightclub where 2 fast trucks were parked. You just didn’t give a fuck and because you wanted to act like a tough guy.
You had all of your gunmen wearing plate carriers descend into the parking lot. Those sort of bullshit actions are the ways of a daydreamer, a fucking daydreamer. You live in a fantasy world, you’re not all there in the head. And why is this? I’ve spent 6 or 7 days drinking away. Without having slept. Perhaps with 250 grams of cocaine that I had on me then.
Obviously, I wouldn’t sell my stash because that’s what I would consume. But despite all of this I never sunk to the level of doing the things you did. Try to remember that one time that you also wanted to have your secretary prosecuted. This came about after drinking for several days. You wanted to have him charged. He eventually left and you were handed over the mob.
What I recall is that you had to be put into rehab. And that your dad was mad because we apparently abandoned you. Your dad didn’t understand that you would get too high for your own good. You had no control of what all illicit goods were being sold. These are the things that your father never knew about. If the city of Culiacán was lost, it was because of your own fault.
Because of you your mob lost respect. You blindsided your father with lies. Which is the same thing that you’re trying to do on your Ocran Leaks podcast. I’m here without having to cover my face with a balaclava. I’m here in front of you. And I went inside your house. This is just the beginning of what you’re going to see here. This is just the beginning of what I have to bring.
I’m leaving you another video here. So, that you can remember. Try fucking with me. You tried to speak ill of who I am. You tried to lie. Everyone needs to remove the gauze from their eyes. Because everything you said on your channel are absolute lies. I never had a need to extort my own family the way you did it with everyone in the town of El Dorado.
You had a lot of individuals prosecuted, Carlitas Contreras, the journalist Javier Valdez, Cesar Milan. I have a long list for you with evidence of this. It’s such a long list that I’m going to leave you in suspense about it.
But I’m gonna show you another video. Perhaps the memory of it will refresh your mind. If there’s anyone interested in knowing about these properties, ranches, or everything else that fucker Ocran Leaks has, who wears a balaclava. If I’m showing my face on video here it’s because I’m not afraid of dying. I don’t run away from anyone.
And this is something that I’ve already demonstrated once before. Once again I’m showing you what I’m about. I’m going to give you just a tip of what’s to come. You tried to mess with me. Ocran Leaks, if you already know my persona. Then why are you bothering to talk about me. But here’s the video.
Check this out. This is everything they left behind after the townspeople’s respect was lost.
I’m at the mausoleum where your uncle Alfonso and grandfather were buried. This is where I currently am. This is where we’re at. So, that you can remember the place where you came to do the dumb shit you use to do. You had the habit of coming out here to party and cause a ruckus.
It’s such a shame that you lost the privilege of being here. This was due to the fact that you couldn’t show respect to the hierarchy or the individuals who were actually in charge here. You didn’t know who the throne really belonged to in these parts. But I’m leaving you this video as a memory for you. I don’t know if those beer bottles on the ground were left by you that one time you were out here drinking.
But here we are. And this isn’t the Jardines Del Humaya cemetery either gentlemen. We’re in the town of El Dorado where Ocran Leaks lived. This is where he would show off to everyone how he had everything under control. But why was all of this lost? It was due to your ambitions, for having lost the respect, for not having won the respect.
And like you once claimed. It was because of the numerical sequence of events: 1, 2, and 3. That was all that you had left to claim. But here we currently are. I don’t know if you remember the Tortugas Ranch? If you do then the old memories should return to you. And let’s see if you can take the mask off you asshole.
Well, there’s what I wanted to show you. This is just a snippet of what’s to come. And it’s definitely not the Jardines Del Humaya cemetery. These are the burial grounds of your grandfather and your uncle. I’d also like to send my greetings to your father. Try scratching the tigers nuts again. If you try it again we will meet up for that confrontation.
I’m not afraid of anyone. And I’ve demonstrated this already. I can also stand wherever I so choose. Neither do I have to wear a balaclava to conceal my identity. Let me know if you need some money. Instead of having to charge your listeners subscription fees. Let me know if you need money. Let me know. So, that I can buy that little ranch for you.
Or any of the other ones for that matter. Why did your own people turn their backs on you? It was because you couldn’t stop running your mouths. You guys thought that because you had a badge you could go out and do things. Claiming that we are a mob for El Licenciado. Get the fuck out of here with that bullshit.
That’s the reason why I was arrested and hauled away. It was the worst mistake that I could’ve made. But there I was like a dumb ass experimenting with shit so that no one would tell me otherwise. We’re currently here and I’ll continue to be here. What more could you possibly want?
I have many other surprises for you. And I want to send you some greetings from Mr. Koala and El Quillo. Don’t forget about Carlitas Contreras. Do you remember her? Let’s also talk about this subject as well.
