Blows against the Los Chapos do not weaken them, experts say.

The murder of El Panu and the arrests of the Lindoro brothers only lead to a restructuring of the faction.

The arrests of Mario Lindoro Elenes and Mario Alberto Lindoro Navidad in Zapopan, Jalisco; of Carlos Gabriel Reynoso García, "El Pollo," in Mazatlán; the murder of Óscar Noé Medina González, "El Panu," in Mexico City; and the death of Alán Gabriel Núñez Herrera in Culiacán are blows that temporarily force the Chapitos to retreat and regroup, but they do not weaken them as many believe, observed a source at the U.S. Embassy in Mexico, with whom this weekly publication spoke.

“For months we thought the Chapitos were weakened; there was even a moment when their leader, Iván Archivaldo Guzmán, was cornered, but he managed to escape.  Afterward, we believed the group was weakened, but suddenly they returned with force, demonstrating all the power they possess, and now it's unclear how weakened they truly are,” the source said.

However, the real blows against El Chapo Guzmán's sons don't come from arrests, deaths, or seizures, but from operators and entire groups that “switch sides,” as they call those who change allegiances, ending up joining the Mayiza, the group commanded by Ismael Zambada Sicairos, also known as El Mayito Flaco.

“In Navolato, some of their people switched sides, and that's why things calmed down there. But in Elota, for example, the fighting continues intensely. In Culiacán, there are people who have switched sides. But even so, the Chapiza remains strong. They have lost ground, but then they regroup, fight back, and regain territory, and that's why nobody knows how much longer this will last,” said a hitman leader from one of the factions, who requested anonymity for security reasons.

In a poster revealed by the DEA, neither Mario Alberto Lindoro Navidad nor Mario Lindoro Elenes are identified as part of the inner circle of Los Chapitos' financial operators, but Medina González is recognized as a high-ranking security lieutenant protecting the organization, while Alán Gabriel Núñez Herrera is singled out as a key figure in fentanyl trafficking, which, according to the DEA, is one of the faction's main sources of income to finance its war.

Until October of last year, the U.S. agency had identified 21 operators who were still at large, excluding Iván Archivaldo and Jesús Alfredo Guzmán Salazar. Of these high-ranking operators, 16 were located in Sinaloa or elsewhere in Mexico, and included hitmen in charge of the group's security, coordinators for the operation of clandestine laboratories, front men and money launderers, and operators for the production and trafficking of fentanyl.

Of that group, all of whom had photos and names, only five remain: Carlos Limón, Jesús Tirado Andrade, Juan Pablo Lozano, Liborio Núñez Aguirre, Noel Pérez López, and Samuel León Alvarado. The rest have been killed or arrested.

According to Mike Vigil, a security analyst and former head of DEA operations in Mexico, although the deaths or arrests of their operators destabilize Los Chapitos, they do not lose power or control because it is an organization that always has other people ready to take over from their predecessors, and in this way, they have no difficulty replacing the people who are important to them. “These arrests and deaths don't weaken them at all, because this is a group that is too cunning, and they are prepared for this. When they lose someone or one of their operatives is arrested, they already have someone to replace them, whether to protect them at all costs, or to move drugs or launder money; they even have the replacements for the replacements already ready,” Vigil explained. Security Reports

These statements foreshadow that the war between the Chapos and the Mayos will continue indefinitely, as observed by people linked to both sides, as well as journalists and gunmen with whom information has been gathered or exchanged about the current situation.

Chronology

On Sunday, December 21, at a well-known restaurant in the Zona Rosa in Mexico City, Óscar Noé Medina González, the alleged head of security for Los Chapitos, was executed. At the time of his death, he is believed to have been Iván Archivaldo's main lieutenant in charge of the group's security. No one knows what he was doing in Mexico City, nor why, given his high level in the organization, he didn't have security. Leader Profiles

Just a few hours after the murder of Panu, another key figure in the Los Chapitos organization, was found dead with his hands tied in the Tres Ríos sector in Culiacán. He was Alan Gabriel Núñez Herrera, for whom the U.S. Department of Justice was offering a one-million-dollar reward. It is presumed that his torture and execution were carried out by people linked to La Mayiza.

A day later, on Tuesday, December 23, hours before Christmas, Carlos Gabriel Reynoso García, "El Pollo," was arrested along with Jesús Arturo Dávalos Valenzuela, who were apparently linked to the Chapitos, in Mazatlán. At the time of their capture, tactical equipment was seized, including weapons for the exclusive use of the army and communication equipment.

That same Tuesday, Mario Lindoro Elenes, "El Niño," and his son Mario Alfredo Lindoro Navidad, "El 7," Iván Archivaldo Guzmán's father-in-law and brother-in-law, were arrested. The arrest followed a series of raids conducted at various residences in Zapopan, Jalisco, where drugs, weapons, documents, money, cell phones, and luxury vehicles were seized.

The night of this past Sunday, December 21, 2025, rumors swirled about a high-profile murder taking place in Mexico City. This armed attack took place in "Zona Rosa" or "Pink Zone," in the borough of Cuahtemoc in Mexico City. The Pink Zone is renowned for its vibrant nightclubs, restaurants, and nightlife. The male subject, who was attacked while eating in a restaurant alongside his family, was named Oscar Ruiz, an alleged Mazatlan hotel business owner. Reports later changed to reveal that Oscar Ruiz was actually Oscar Noe Medina Gonzalez, "El Panu," or "El Lobo," for whom the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and the U.S. Department of State offer a $4 million reward. The United States Government describes El Panu's role in the Los Chapitos Cartel as, 

"the principal deputy for Ivan Archivaldo Guzmán Salazar, a high-level leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, and the day-to-day commander of Guzmán Salazar’s and his brothers’ – the Chapitos’ – security apparatus.  Medina Gonzalez oversees each of the Chapitos’ regional commanders, who are responsible for security in their designated areas of Mexico, and the Chapitos’ gunmen — the sicarios — who are dispatched where needed to protect the Chapitos’ fentanyl trafficking operations, assassinate rival cartel members, demolish unsupportive businesses, capture contested territory, intimidate civilians, and attack law enforcement, in furtherance of the Cartel’s fentanyl trafficking business."

The man murdered in Mexico City's Zona Rosa is believed to be "El Panu," the head of security for Los Chapitos.

WRITTEN BY: CARLOS ACEVEDO ALVAREZ 

On the night of December 21, 2025, a man was shot and killed inside the Luau restaurant, located in the Juárez neighborhood of the Zona Rosa in the Cuauhtémoc borough of Mexico City. The attack was a targeted killing perpetrated by at least one hitman.  Authorities in Mexico City are investigating whether the victim was Óscar Noé Medina González, also known as “El Panu,” an alleged high-ranking operative of the Los Chapitos faction of the Sinaloa Cartel and a target of the U.S. government, which had offered a reward of up to $4 million for his capture.

According to initial reports from the Mexico City Secretariat of Citizen Security (SSC) and the Mexico City Attorney General's Office (FGJCDMX), the attack occurred inside the Luau restaurant on Niza Street, where a woman and two men were eating when an armed man entered and fired directly at one of them. The gunman then fled on a motorcycle with an accomplice, and as of yet, no arrests have been made. According to official reports, one man died at the scene, and another person was injured by gunfire and taken to a hospital, while the woman accompanying them was unharmed.

Mexico City authorities reported that SSC (Mexico City Police) personnel cordoned off the area and notified the Public Prosecutor's Office, which opened an investigation into intentional homicide and injuries caused by firearms.  They also ordered a review of C5 (Mexico City's integrated command and control center) surveillance footage from Niza Street and surrounding areas to reconstruct the attackers' escape route. At the crime scene, forensic services collected 19 ballistic evidence items, including spent shell casings of 9mm and .45 AUTO caliber, as well as a loaded magazine. The victim's body had 28 injuries, 27 of which were gunshot wounds to the face, head, chest, and extremities, as documented in the forensic reports.

Initially, the murdered man's partner identified him as Óscar Ruiz Domínguez and stated that they had arrived in Mexico City on December 20, 2025, and were staying in a rented house in Naucalpan, State of Mexico. The woman, identified as María José Rojo Sambrano, informed authorities that she had been in a relationship with the victim for six years, that she did not know his phone number because they only communicated through the Telegram app, and that he was allegedly involved in real estate transactions, although she was unaware of any threats against him or his criminal record.

However, sources consulted by various media outlets and journalist Carlos Jiménez, known as C4 Jiménez, indicated that there are signs that the murdered man was actually Óscar Noé Medina González, alias “El Panu,” an alleged member of the Los Chapitos faction. According to these reports, the victim's mother, identified as Guadalupe González, reportedly confirmed to authorities that the deceased man was her son, Óscar Noé, although she stated that he was involved in agricultural activities in Durango and said she did not know what her son did for a living. Other versions suggest that the deceased was a partner in a hotel chain in Mazatlán, which is part of the lines of investigation being reviewed by Mexico City authorities.

Information incorporated by the media from U.S. federal documents indicates that Óscar Noé Medina González, alias “El Panu,” was considered a high-ranking operator of the Los Chapitos faction of the Sinaloa Cartel and one of Iván Archivaldo Guzmán Salazar's main lieutenants. According to U.S. government wanted posters, “El Panu” allegedly served as head of security for Joaquín Guzmán Loera's sons and led an operation dedicated to trafficking cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, and marijuana from Mexico to the United States, for which a reward of up to $4 million was offered for information leading to his arrest or conviction.

The profiles released about Medina González describe him as maintaining a low profile that allowed him to stay off the radar of rival organizations and Mexican and U.S. authorities, despite occupying a significant position within the criminal structure. journalistic reports mention that “El Panu” allegedly assumed the head of security for Los Chapitos after the murder of Jorge Humberto Figueroa Benítez, alias “El 27” or “La Perris,” which placed him in a strategic position within the group's organizational chart. To date, the Mexico City Attorney General's Office (FGJCDMX) and the Secretariat of Citizen Security (SSC) have not officially confirmed that the person murdered at the Luau restaurant is Óscar Noé Medina González, alias “El Panu,” and they are keeping the investigation open to corroborate the deceased's identity through forensic analysis and national and international intelligence sharing. The agencies have indicated that the victim's possible connection to an international criminal organization has heightened attention to the case because the homicide occurred in a busy tourist and commercial area of ​​the capital, raising concerns about the operation of criminal groups in Mexico City.

Authorities reported that they are continuing to interview family members who witnessed the attack, including the deceased's mother and sister, as well as restaurant staff, to determine if the name Óscar Ruiz Domínguez was a false identity used to move around the capital. The FGJCDMX stated that forensic results and intelligence sharing with international agencies will confirm or rule out whether the man murdered in the Juárez neighborhood is the alleged operator of Los Chapitos wanted by the United States.

JOSE RODRIGUEZ: While you were sleeping, 150 Mexican Army bats arrived to reinforce security here in Culiacán. They arrived at the Culiacán International Airport. Details with Sebastián Martínez. On with the report. 

SEBASTIAN MARTINEZ: Good morning. How are you, José? Good morning to you. Also, good morning to the entire Luz Noticias audience. Well, as you were saying, yesterday 150 Mexican Army special forces arrived, known as bats. These elements arrived at Military Air Base No. 10, which is located right where Culiacán International Airport is. The arrival of these elements was scheduled for 3 p.m. However, well, it was delayed. The first aircraft arrived at 5 P.M., between 5 and 5:30P.M. There were four Mexican Air Force C295 aircraft arriving, in which these 150 troops arrived. The first, as I mentioned, arrived around 5 p.m. Later, after 9 p.m., between 9 and 10 p.m., the other aircraft began to arrive, carrying the 150 troops, known as the bats of the Mexican Army's special forces. These troops are coming to reinforce security here in Culiacán after these events, which we are all aware of, and they will join the 11,000 Mexican Army troops already deployed in the different municipalities here in the state of Sinaloa. José, 

JOSE RODRIGUEZ: yes, we are seeing exclusive images there. of the arrival of these 150 bats that are coming down or were coming down from a Mexican Air Force plane, and there's the deployment. They're special elements, that's why they're classified as bats. Sebastián, 

SEBASTIAN: Yes, that's right. They're from the special forces. Uh, they call themselves bats. Even on their helmets, on their uniforms, they have bat logos plastered on them. That's how they identify themselves as members of the special forces, known as bats. And they came heavily armed with rifles, well, for the exclusive use of the Mexican army, like M4 carbines, mini rifles, and so on. José, 

SEBASTIAN: Yes, they are special elements, elements that have to carry out the mission no matter where they are sent. That's why they are called bats, and they are arriving after Omar García Harfuch's visit last Sunday. The bats come with a strategy, but they won't make it known, obviously. But these special elements are arriving, which are so needed. And there's also a lot of criticism that, oh, well, a number of elements from the Navy, the Army, the National Guard are arriving, but the clashes continue. Eh, armed people, armed civilians, continue circulating through the city of Culiacán, and the checkpoints they are setting up at some intersections are useless; they are only there to annoy people. Well, let's hope the bats work, that they arrive, that they put an end to all this. We're about to mark a year since this whole situation began between the Sinaloa cartel's organized crime groups. It's July 23rd.

Next Friday, July 25th, marks one year since the alleged kidnapping of Ismael Mayo Zambada to the United States. It hasn't been very clear what happened.  Well, these 150 bats have arrived.

We'll be keeping an eye on what their exact functions will be. I don't think they'll say it, Sebastián. 

SEBASTIAN: Yes, no, they don't usually say it. In fact, last Sunday, the federal security cabinet was meeting here in Culiacán, and General Ricardo Trevilla was announcing that they would implement new strategies. He announced that they had a force of around 11,000 troops here in Sinaloa. These 150 special forces are coming to Culiacán. However, they won't know exactly what tasks they will carry out, for their own safety and to ensure that the operations are successful, JOSE.

Exclusive video of the operation that led to the death of "La Perris" Or "27" By Journalist Luis Chaparro

CHAR 

JUNE 2, 2025 

PIE DE NOTA 

VIDEO TRANSLATION 

A very interesting follow-up note.

Here at the Pie De Nota, we obtained an exclusive video showing the exact moment that the Mexican army's law enforcement forces, along with the Sinaloa state police, executed the operation intended to arrest La Perris, the former head of security for the Chapitos, who had allegedly switched sides to La Mayiza, although this has not been confirmed.

I'm talking about the operation against Jorge Humberto Figueroa Benítez, alias La Perris, head of security for the Chapitos, who, during the operation to capture him, decided to shoot at members of the armed forces and ended up dead.

As we reveal here in some exclusive photographs published on the Pie De Nota Instagram Page, I must warn you again: those photographs are very graphic.

In this space, we don't usually share such graphic images; however, those images were used. To, uh, let's say, uh, dispel the doubts of people who are learning that it was indeed Jorge Humberto Figueroa, alias La Perris. I want you to see the following video. It has no sound, uh. So, uh, I'm going to narrate to you.

 Look, here are the law enforcement officers arriving in a Sinaloa State Police patrol car. Once again, these are exclusive images of the operation that ended La Perris's life. For people who are connected on TikTok, you can watch the video broadcast on YouTube. Army personnel arrive, and several prepare to form a security cordon. If you can see on the left side of the screen, there was a man with a gun. 

Then other army personnel arrive with a ladder to enter the surrounding properties. When several of the personnel approach, they arrive with a shield and the tools to open the house, while the others enter from behind with the ladder, the following unfolds: Look, the shots begin from inside. The house through the window and hit the truck, smashing a glass. Look at the number of shots. Several law enforcement officers manage to take cover and throw themselves to the ground. While the truck you're seeing on screen, which has a .50 caliber mounted, begins to fire at the entire facade. Look at the bullet impacts from a .50 caliber, how powerful they can be, and the destruction they're causing to, uh, get the officer who was lying on the ground, who was going to break in, to escape. And with those shots, uh, being fired from the truck that's recording the images I'm showing you on screen, from that truck that again has a .50 caliber mounted, the shots are fired at the house, ending the life of Jorge Humberto Figueroa, alias La Perris.

Exclusive images that we bring you here

in the footnote from sources directly

from law enforcement. There, the truck is rearranged to fire more shots at the house where Perris was hiding with the truck. Rivan's entrance gate. And well, that's where the video we obtained exclusively ends. Again, for those who are not connected to the official broadcast on YouTube, you can go watch that video on our YouTube channel. It's exclusive information where you can see the armed forces members arriving at Perris's house or the house where Perris was hiding in Navolato, Sinaloa, to break into the home. 

The operation's objective was, of course, to arrest and apprehend Perris after having intelligence information that said and confirmed that Perris was indeed there. It had even been shared with law enforcement. 

Intelligence photographs of Jorge Humberto Figueroa himself inside that house. Almost in real time, when the officers arrived to carry out the arrest. They were met with gunfire, as you can even see. One of them hit the state police patrol car recording the video, and the Mexican government law enforcement officers responded. La Perris was wanted by the United States, who were offering a million dollars for information leading to his capture due to his high position within the Chapitos organization, in addition to being one of the last remaining members of this same criminal group. By combining this video with the images we shared on our social media of how this character was left after the operation, we can get a clearer picture of the timeline of how the authorities managed to take down this criminal, further weakening the Chapitos faction. And look, let's move on to another.

WRITTEN BY: DIANA CRUZ 

Culiacán, Sinaloa.- The girls Leydi and Alexa lost their lives due to a mistake by soldiers who shot them in Badiraguato, their families reported.

Their loved ones have spoken out on social media to clarify that the girls' deaths were not due to "crossfire" in a confrontation in Badiraguato, but rather that the soldiers mistook the van in which the family was traveling and opened fire.

An aunt and cousin of the girls stated that it was a totally unjust act, stating that the military is there to fight crime, not to take the lives of innocent girls.

“May 6th, the day my little girls, Leydi and Alexa, had their lives taken away, being just totally innocent girls unaware of all the events that occurred in Badiraguato, the authorities are currently handling it as “collateral damage” or “crossfire” unfortunately the information that the authorities or some media report is TOTALLY FALSE, the government only talks about what suits them, my little girls had their lives taken away by the MILITARY, yes, our own government, the military confused the car in which my family was traveling and began to shoot incessantly until they ended the lives of my girls, it is a totally unjust act, they are supposed to “fight crime” but this time they themselves took the lives of my little girls, they took away their dreams in an instant, this cannot go unpunished, for my little girls, niece and cousin. NOT WITH GIRLS AND BOYS!!!”, it was expressed in the message.

It's worth remembering that this unfortunate incident occurred on May 6 in Badiraguato, following reports of an alleged confrontation between authorities and armed civilians.

The parents of one of the deceased girls were injured, as was another 12-year-old boy named Gael, who remains hospitalized.

VIDEO TRANSLATION 

What happened yesterday at the north exit on Mexico 15? Ángel Beltrán was there with all the details. Angel, I'm happy to greet you. 

Good morning. Good morning, José. Likewise, to the audience. Indeed, minutes before 9 p.m. yesterday, Wednesday, a group of armed individuals robbed several vehicles on the Mexico 15 international highway near the motels located at the north exit of Culiacán. With these same units, they blocked both lanes of traffic and also set them on fire. These individuals left the highway practically blocked in both lanes. A few minutes later, dozens of personnel from various corporations, mainly from the Ministry of Security and Citizen Protection, arrived and secured the area so that firefighters could arrive, carry out maneuvers, and extinguish the fire.

First, a combat unit arrived and extinguished a truck and the problem was that the water ran out, and the remaining two units continued to burn. Later, more firefighter units arrived with more trucks and managed to put out the fire after a few minutes of maneuvers. These units were reportedly stripped and blocked, and the drivers were apparently allowed to leave. Fortunately, they were unharmed during these events. These maneuvers and the international highway lasted, well, blocked for several hours, just a couple of minutes before midnight after the fire was extinguished.

 These units were removed with the help of two State Preventive Police tow trucks, who shook these elements with the cranes to be able to remove these units and free the international highway. Mexico 15. The images, well, we were there, and this blockade occurred just a few minutes after a strong confrontation was reported, which is in The Pericos municipality in the municipality of Mocorito, which lasted several minutes, and the report also indicated that many armed people were driving around in double-wheeled trucks, clashing on the same international highway at the entrance to Pericos and also at the Bairahuato intersection. 

José, yes, there are the images. Ángel Beltrán arrived at the scene. He was the first reporter to arrive at this location, brave enough to inform the public of what was happening at that time, because, uh, we only had the report of the gunfire from the clashes in Pericos Mocorito, and it was said that the Mexico 15 highway was blocked at the intersection toward Badiraguato. 

But we didn't know there was a blockade, a major blockade at the northern exit near the motels. We went to verify and see if some trailers were indeed on fire. Hey, Ángel Beltrán, you arrived there.

We arrived around 9:10 p.m., and by the time I arrived, the vehicles were still practically on fire. Firefighters hadn't arrived. Only federal personnel from the Ministry of Security and Citizen Protection were guarding the area. Even so, they kindly allowed us to be close to where the vehicles were burning, at a safe distance for safety reasons. A few minutes later, firefighters arrived and began carrying out maneuvers. And it's worth mentioning that this blockade, José, wasn't the only one last night, right? There was also a blockade on the Benito Juárez Highway near the town of the battalion in the municipality of Navolato. This report also indicated armed individuals had fired shots to force drivers of heavy-duty vehicles to stop, and with the same Units carried out the blockade at that point on the highway, near the Culiacan Highway. Volato was in the battalion's polaro. This incident also caused heavy traffic congestion and long lines of vehicles that also blocked the highway for several hours. Yes, Angel, you were there.

We were all following your broadcast yesterday. Your live broadcast. I think all of Culiacán was following your broadcast yesterday because you were the only person there, and at first, we heard some explosions coming from the trailers. What exactly was it, Angel? Yes, because the units were completely on fire. The tires practically melted and began to explode as a result of this fire. And also, the fire reached the gas tanks. 

Jose, those were the two reasons why the explosions were being recorded at the scene: the gas tanks and the tires of the units. Well, that's what's happening. Well, what happened yesterday. This is what it looked like after the fire. These are the images that Angel Beltrán was commenting on at the scene. You were there for a while. There, right?

Angel, how long did the maneuvers take to put out the fire?

Yes, they lasted a little over an hour while the firefighters' support arrived because I mentioned that the first unit that arrived on the scene had run out of water, and only managed to pay for what a cargo truck was, but there were three more vehicles left. Later, support arrived, and with the support of two water trucks, they managed to put out this fire. The maneuvers for the firefighting operation lasted a little over an hour, plus the removal, you could say about three hours. By midnight, the international highway was already open, there at the north exit. But we continue with what happened yesterday, with this chronology brought to us by Ángel Beltrán, with the clashes in Pericos Mocorito and the roadblocks. Well, several highways of varying viability were blocked. It was Mexico 15. It was also Benito Juárez at the battalion level, also the Guamuchi entrance.

Mocorito, there was a major blockade there, too, but let's talk about the shooting in Pericos Mocorito because we were receiving reports at 6671 609 that the shooting was taking place at the intersection toward Badirahuato, at that famous intersection on Mexico 15. And others said that inside the town of Pericos Mocorito, Ángel, and the gunshots lasted approximately two hours. They calmed down, returned. They calmed down, and returned. That's what they told us. Yes, that's right. The first reports indicated that subjects were fighting.

Armed at what is known as the entrance to the Pericos municipality in the municipality of Mocorito. This was on Mexico City-15 International Highway, and the gunshots effectively lasted almost two hours, while the authorities were conspicuous by their absence. These reports also indicated a large group of armed men driving around in double-wheeled pickup trucks, some of them white, others black, others with weapons embedded in the back. And these shots, well, some residents recorded the shots and also took some videos that went practically viral on various social media. 

This confrontation also spread to the intersection of the municipality of Badiraguato, where reports were also received about a large group of armed men, also in the municipal seat of Badiraguato, without any evidence so far. It is known, eh, if they caused any disorder there. Eh, but the main clashes were recorded mainly at the entrance to Pericos and at the Abauato intersection. José. Yes, well, yesterday, what terror Mocorito experienced. What terror Pericos experienced. Also, Villa Juárez, right? Ángeles. Are you hearing chants in Pericos and minutes later, Villa Juárez? Navolato. Do we have information on what exactly happened in Villajuez? Yes, that's right. José, well, the firefighters were just trying to put out the fire here at the blockade located on the international highway, Mexico 15, the city north of Culiacán. When, at that same location, reports were received about the clash on Highway 20, which leads from the Culiacán highway in Lorado to the municipality of Villajuárez, Navolato. This. Near Campo Cuba, reports were being received that men were fighting. 

Armed personnel were on board several trucks that were circulating, and the confrontation also lasted several minutes and was quite intense. A fact that was also videotaped by the residents of Campo Cuba and the surrounding area. And this confrontation took place precisely at a point where it is constantly maintained at National Guard events, almost at the intersection of the Culiacán El Dorado Highway, Highway 20, and Culiacán El Dorado. We were unable to confirm whether these National Guard members were on guard at the time of the confrontation on the same highway, but Campo Cuba is very close. These explosions also went viral. The videos showed that they were quite loud, high-powered weapons were heard, and during the same confrontation, another blockade occurred there on the Culiacán El Dorado Highway at the entrance to a poultry company that is also located near the same intersection with the highway.
