According to the data, the arrest took place shortly before 9:00 p.m., in the facilities of the Médica de la Ciudad hospital, located on Álvaro Obregón Avenue.

During his arrest, Toner was wearing a hospital gown. The reasons for his hospitalization are unknown at this time, however, unofficial data indicate that he was injured during a confrontation with security forces.

According to the National Registry of Arrests (RND), the arrest was carried out by agents of the Federal Ministerial Police.

It also states that López Reátiga is in the Aguaruto Penitentiary Center.

EL TONER 

Despite rumors in news media regarding Luis Alfonso Lopez Reatiga, known as "El Toner," being appointed as one of the security chiefs of the Los Chapitos criminal group, we can confirm that this is far from true. El Toner was never in the position of security chief for Ivan Archivaldo and Jesus Alfredo Guzman Salazar, leaders of La Chapiza or the Los Chapos Cartel. Instead, El Toner was part of the inner circle of Juancho or El Gavilan, a high-ranking member of the La Chapiza Cartel who has held various leadership roles in the city of Culiacan. El Toner was among several dangerous criminals who escaped from the Aguaruto Penitentiary during the first Culiacanazo on October 17, 2019, when Ovidio Guzman Lopez was freed after threats were made to kidnap military family members stationed in Sinaloa. I do not wish to downplay the capture of El Toner or contradict other news media outlets.

Culiacán, Sin.- Apart from the important capture of José Ángel Canobbio, alias “El Güerito,” federal forces arrested this Wednesday, February 19, Kevin Alonso Gil Acosta, nicknamed “El 200,” who is also a key piece in the organization of the Sinaloa Cartel.

According to the information, the alleged criminal was arrested by elements of the National Guard in coordination with the Army at nightfall yesterday Wednesday in Culiacancito


At the time of his arrest he was wearing a green shirt, a navy blue jacket, jeans and white tennis shoes.



Who is “El 200”?
Kevin Alonso Gil Acosta, alias “El 200”, is 34 years old and is known to be the head of security in the “Los Chapitos” faction, specifically under the orders of Iván Archivaldo Guzmán.

On a date like today, February 19, Mexican Army Day, but in 2014, Kevin Karim Elias Gil Acosta, alias “El 300,” was arrested in the Burócrata neighborhood in Culiacán, in possession of a long weapon, a fragmentation grenade, 11 handguns, 35 magazines of different calibers, 17 communication devices, four vehicles and drugs hidden in vegetables (plastic bananas and cucumbers), the federal government reported in a statement at the time. It is unknown when and why he was released.

Kevin alias “El 200” and his brother “El 300” are attributed with the kidnapping and murder of Hugo Castellanos Jimenez, a beauty pageant judge killed in 2016 in Culiacán, when Melissa Carolina Lizárraga, the “underdog,” won the Miss World Sinaloa pageant.


He did not fall alone
It was reported that, along with him, there are two other detainees, which are: Gustavo Acosta López, 56 years old, and José Alonso Acosta López, whose age was not disclosed. Both are relatives of “El 200”, José Alonso is his uncle.

The three were transferred under a strong security device to the Military Air Base at the Culiacán International Airport.


MY THOUGHTS- BY: CHAR


The Capture of Kevin Alonso Gil Acosta, alias "El 200" or "El Cabo," is a blow to the criminal organization of Los Chapitos, Los Menores, or La Chapiza, led by Ivan Archivaldo and Jesus Alfredo Guzman Salazar, sons of JGL. El 200 was Ivan Archivaldo's voice in Culiacan and swiftly carried out his orders. El 200 is believed to have led the attacks including making threats on families of military members on the first Culiacanazo on orders of Ivan Archivaldo, leading to Ovidio Guzman Lopez being freed after being captured. Ivan and Alfredo have lost two key trusted operators in one week. The government has warned that raids will continue against criminal groups in Sinaloa until violence reduces between rival criminal groups.

The La Mayiza Criminal Group Release Audio Broadcast Calling Out Ruben Rocha Moya Governor Of Sinaloa For Supporting La Chapiza Cartel And Claim Jose Angel Canobbio Inzunza Was Freed By Sinaloa Government

 "Char" for Borderland Beat 

JANUARY 24, 2025


BY: CHAR

The top aide or secretary of El Comanche once again released an audio broadcast criticizing La Chapiza members and the Sinaloa government. El Comanche is a high-ranking member of the "Mayo Zambada" criminal organization, which is led by Ismael Zambada Sicairos, "Mayito Flaco" son of Ismael Zambada Garcia. 


Sinaloa has seen a wave of violent events in recent days, and what has become clear for the Sinaloan people is the Governor of Sinaloa Ruben Rocha Moya has to step down from his position. Although Ruben Rocha Moya seems to have the support from the Mexican federal government, the people of Sinaloa believe otherwise. 


The following audio broadcast by the secretary of El Comanche claims that Ruben Rocha Moya is supporting La Chapiza, and freed Jose Angel Canobbio Inzunza, "El Guerito" principal lieutenant of Ivan Archivaldo Guzman Salazar from a recent military operation. 


El Comanche and his brother McKlein are leading operations against the La Chapiza Cartel in Culiacan, Sinaloa, with the blessing of Ismael Zambada Sicairos.

Hello there Chapo Zetas. Hello there Chapo Zetas. You’re no longer Chapo Zetas. Now, you guys are child killers. Despicable pigs, swine, murderers of innocents. All of that crying that you’re doing with Mayito Flaco. Blaming us for killing innocent civilians. When you know damn well that it was you guys who killed those two kids recently. 


Filthy pigs. On top of this Rocha Moya is covering for your mob. It’s clearly evident with everyone he let go. Case in point would be for El Mórral and Jose Angel. They were detained and released afterwards. This conflict of ours will never end. We know that Rocha Moya is shielding your cartel. 


The following goes for that coward JL. Commander Comanche wants to battle you. Just say the word whenever you’re ready for this. We can meet up for that confrontation in the same manner that we’ve done it out in the community of Elota. Those gunmen that we have out there will engage you. 


They’re not much for small talk but will come out to war against you. Unlike you guys who just run your mouths over the radios while asking that we come closer towards you. We’re already aware that you guys are nothing more than filthy pigs. It took the killing of innocent civilians for us to come out looking for your gang of fucking pigs. 


You’re better off giving support to your personnel out in Elota since we’re slowly taking them out. Go out there and help your shooters out instead of challenging Comanche. We’ve already demonstrated for you faggots that we’re not afraid. Stop doing that childish shit of hanging narco messages claiming we’re responsible.  


All of the citizens, the townspeople, know that you scumbag vermin are all supported by the government of Rocha Moya. Soon enough your charade will come to an end. Keep killing women and children. 


This communique goes out specifically to all of the women out there. Pay close attention. Every female that’s giving the Chapo Zetas aid at the drug spots, gambling dens, acting as guides in patrol vehicles while the gunmen maintain a safe distance behind them. You seem to think that we’re not aware of what’s actually going on. 


But the thing is that we’ve got it all figured out already. Stop engaging in bullshit. You’re better off doing something else with your lives. Otherwise, bad things will happen to you. The filthy pigs labels thrown our way will be the only thing used in your defense. You’re each responsible for the harm that comes your way for having helped out these scumbags. 


Step away from these matters while you still can. This conflict is man versus man. Between Chapo operatives and Mayos. Only men can engage in this war. Come on out for that armed confrontation whenever you guys are ready. You scumbag murderers of children should already know that we’re on the outskirts of town. Not within the city limits. Long live Mayito Flaco! We hold no fear you fucking faggots.

The Barrancos Sector of Culiacan, Sinaloa, is controlled by the La Chapiza Cartel, which is where the attack occurred against the home property owned by the family of Markitos Toys. There are obvious reasons to assume that La Mayiza is responsible for the attack. Still, rumors through the grapevine were that La Chapiza was not keen on Markitos Toys after Nesto Isidro Perez Salas, "El Nini," was captured, who was a close friend of El Nini or El 19.

Culiacán, Sin.- A woman and a child died during the night of Sunday, December 29th during a fire in a house located in the Bosques del Álamo subdivision, very close to Los Mezcales, north of Culiacán.
The woman was identified as Astrid 'N', 26 years old, and her son Dante 'N', 6 years old, who were inside the house at the time of the tragic event.

The fire was reported at around 6:05 p.m. to the 911 emergency service, where, so far, it has not been reported whether it was provoked or if it was an accident, since it was reported that it could have been a violent attack, although neighbors assured that no firearm detonations were heard and said that the fire occurred because of a Christmas pinito.

Minutes later, members of the Culiacan Fire Department arrived at the site, who extinguished the flames and Red Cross personnel confirmed that, unfortunately, both men no longer had vital signs.

Municipal police officers cordoned off the area and requested the presence of investigative and forensic personnel to carry out the corresponding procedures in order to confirm whether this was a violent incident or an accident.

La Mayiza Or MF Group Sends A Warning To Jesus Guillermo Flores Bautista, "El Caballo" High Ranking Member Of The La Chapiza In Culiacan, Sinaloa. La Mayiza Claim Eye For An Eye, Tooth For Tooth Against La Chapiza

 "Char" for Borderland Beat 

DECEMBER 24, 2024 

EL CABALLO

On Christmas Eve, La Mayiza or MF Group published an audio broadcast sending a warning message against Jesus Guillermo Flores Bautista, "El Caballo," a high-ranking La Chapiza member in Culiacan, Sinaloa. El Caballo is believed to control a few sectors or neighborhoods in Culiacan on behalf of La Chapiza or Los Chapos Cartel. El Caballo is a violent criminal who escaped the Aguaruto Prison during the mass prison riot on the Culiacanazo of October 17, 2019. The threatening message on behalf of La Mayiza threatens El Caballo and La Chapiza warning them to stop kidnapping friends, and family, of La Mayiza members who are not involved with the cartel business. Moreover, La Mayiza warns the La Chapiza Cartel that they will suffer the same faith and their family members will also get kidnapped meaning eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth. 

La Chapiza, or Los Chapos Cartel, as we all can remember, kidnapped about 66 people, including children, when the home of the infamous Ivan Archivaldo Guzman Salazar was burglarized. La Chapiza kidnapping relatives or families is nothing new, but for La Mayiza to openly state that they will also start to kidnap relatives or family members of Los Chapos is another escalation of the current Sinaloa Civil War. 



LA MAYIZA SENDS WARNING TO EL CABALLO

This communique goes out to the Chapo-Zetas. Caballo, mainly this goes out to you since you’re being such a crybaby. This is just a small taste of your own medicine so that you’ll know what it feels like to have a family member kidnapped. We’re not some cheap fucks like you guys. But you sure as hell are obligating us to do this. 


We don’t mess with the family. But from now on that’s how things are going to be. If you guys abduct a cousin, brother, or any family member from the Mayiza mob. We will kidnap 20 of your relatives in return. It doesn’t matter if it’s a mother, children, relatives, or whatever.  They’re going to be abducted. And we will return them to you as you hand them over to us. 


If you grab one of ours we will pick up twenty of yours. And if it’s two that get snatched then we will grab forty of yours. This shit is getting out of control. The war was always just between the Chapos and Mayos gunmen. It had nothing to do with each other’s family members. As things stand you guys have a lot to lose. 


From now on this is how things are going to be. We are the absolute Mayiza mob and we’re moving forward. This message goes out to every Chapo Zetas. If you guys abduct one of our family members we will kidnap twenty of your relatives. And if it’s two of ours it’ll be forty of yours. We don’t give a fuck at this point.

The MF Group has made clear from the beginning of the war on September 9, 2024,  that they are making an offensive to La Chapiza territories. With this in mind, the probability of MF members suffering casualties or being captured by enemies (La Chapiza) is a high probability.
