R1

The afternoon of this Sunday, July 6, 2025, reports started to swirl about a raid by Mexican military special forces that included a helicopter with a minigun machine gun and an aircraft TEXAN flying around in Cosala. There was also reported movement of Secretariat Navy personnel to capture a criminal figure on the ground.

EFRAIN TREJO RETAMOZA 

Hours later, after the raid was concluded, it was confirmed that a powerful criminal figure named Efrain Trejo Retamoza "R1" had evaded capture. R1 and his family have long-controlled drug laboratories in the Cosala mountain areas, which have the presence of both Los Chapos and Los Mayos criminal groups. The sister of Mr. Efrain had a child with the famous drug lord Joaquin Guzmán Loera, and many times, JGL used Cosala as a hideout before his final capture in Los Mochis in 2016. Last year, with the start of the conflict between Los Chapos vs Los Mayos, Mr. Efrain R1 decided to join the Los Mayos/ MF criminal group.

On July 3, 2025, videos of clashes that occured the night prior were published of a heavy armed confrontation of armed cells belonging to the Los Renes 00, an armed wing of Los Chapitos, against La Mayiza/ MF. 

Allegedly, most of the videos published were recorded by Los Renes 00 members, so that is an indication that highly likely this criminal group came out victorious in this specific confrontation that occurred on Cosala roads about 10-15 kilometers from Espinal, Sinaloa.

APRIL 29, 2025

Heavy clashes with armored vehicles were reported on the night of April 28, 2025, in Potrerillos Del Norote, Elota, Sinaloa, between La Mayiza/MF against the La Chapiza/Los Chapitos. Both criminal groups have continued to clash for almost eight months. In a previous post, La Mayiza announced their arrival in Potrerillos Del Norote by hanging a La Chapiza member with a rope in the municipal head. 

In the subsequent videos, a ferocious firefight can be heard between criminal groups and a hitman driving in an armored truck records himself attacking a rival's pickup truck. Unsure if the individual recording is an MF or La Chapiza member, although sources claim it is an MF member.
