Tijuana Breaks All-Time Homicide Record amid Cartel War
The cartel war raging Tijuana continues with 1,789 homicides registered as of September 19, now breaking the 2017 record of 1,781.
The record-breaking year persists despite Mexico City’s deployment of military assets to the region in February to quell cartel violence. The bloodshed is generally rated to turf wars involving Cártel Tijuana Nueva Generación (CTNG), aligned with El Cártel de Jalisco Nueva Generación, against the Sinaloa Cartel. In some areas, rival factions within the Sinaloa Cartel are fighting for control of the lucrative street-level markets and smuggling routes into the United States. Those involved in the killings are primarily low-level dealers, lookouts, customers, and enforcers. Many of the street-level dealers are targets of rip-crews looking for cash and drugs.
One of the factors blamed in Tijuana is that only 8% of homicide suspects are detained, according to the president of Fundación EduPaz, Francisco García Burgos. He said that the number of unsolved homicides, combined with the responsible parties still on the streets, created an environment where citizens are fearful of reporting crimes due to reprisals. Breitbart Texas previously reported on this problem when 132 of the first homicides registered only produced 11 suspects detained. The 11 were from only five registered homicides, according to local media.
Cartels fighting in the city do so with almost total impunity as demonstrated early Thursday morning when alleged gunmen opened fire from two vehicles against buildings housing the state attorney general’s homicide and forensics units. No injuries were reported, but the gunfire caused damage to windows, according to local media. Ministerial police were inside the facilities at the time of the drive-by shooting.
A recent photo captured by photojournalist Gustavo Suárez of Frontera has been used among Mexican social media accounts to demonstrate the indifference some citizens apparently feel due to the constant cartel bloodshed. The photograph was captured at a taco stand in colonia Murúa Martínez where a smiling family can be see dining in the foreground amid an active homicide scene.

GRAPHIC – 7 Human Heads Dumped in Mexican Border State
14 Sep 2018446
Police discovered seven heads abandoned in an ice cooler Friday morning
in the rural community of Bácum, Sonora–sparking fears of an escalation in an
ongoing territorial cartel war.
Security
elements of the State Public Security Police (PESP) and investigators assigned
to the State Attorney General’s Office responded to a report of heads in a
cooler at approximately 4 am, according to local media.
Authorities determined that all victims were males between the ages of 25 and
40 and were believed kidnapped several hours earlier in the town of Francisco
Javier Mina.
According to authorities and
Breitbart Texas law enforcement contacts, the Friday morning executions and the
general escalation in violence in the region can be attributed to a territorial
dispute between “Los Salazar,” aligned with the Sinaloa Cartel, and Cártel
de Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG). This dispute began in 2017 as CJNG moved
into southern Sonora to challenge the Sinaloa Cartel’s dominance over routes to
the U.S. drug markets.
According to local media reports,
the small community of Bácum has registered 150 homicides.

In
early August, Breitbart Texas reported that the United States Consulate General
in Hermosillo issued a security alert prohibiting
federal employees from traveling to the popular tourist locations of San
Carlos, Guaymas, and Empalme, Sonora, due to recent violent activity. Breitbart
Texas also reported that more than 200
federal and state police personnel supported by elements of the Mexican Army
were deployed to Guaymas amid increasing violence.

GRAPHIC: Cartel Gunmen Carry Out Early Morning Hits in Mexican
Border State
15 Sep 201856
CIUDAD VICTORIA, Tamaulipas — Cartel gunmen
escalated the number of executions in capital city of this Mexican border
state. Hitmen began a new tactic where they are now raiding homes early in the
morning. The raids are designed to surprise their sleeping victims and kill
them at point-blank range.
This
week, Ciudad Victoria, the capital of Tamaulipas, witnessed a series of
executions where a group of assassins arrived at the houses of their victims at
dawn and used assault rifles to kill them. The first execution took place in
the Horacio Terán neighborhood in the southern part of the city where
52-year-old Hortencia “N” and an unidentified man died after being shot three
times in the head.
According
to information provided to Breitbart Texas by state authorities, neighbors
reported hearing several gunshots at 6 a.m. so they called the authorities. By
the time authorities and emergency personnel arrived, the victims were already
dead and the gunmen escaped from the scene.
The
double murder occurred at about the same time that another group of hit men
killed an ex-convict named Ricardo “El Riki” Gonzalez Villanueva. According to
information provided to Breitbart Texas by authorities, the gunmen also caught
the victim by surprise at his home when two cartel hitmen entered and shot him
multiple times in the head.
Also
this week, a group of hitmen executed two men outside a house in the Luis
Echeverria neighborhood. The gunmen shot their victims with machine guns at
close range before fleeing. According to police sources, the executions are
related to the territorial disputes between rival factions of Los Zetas cartel
called Northeastern Cartel or Cartel Del Noreste and Old School Zetas or Zetas
Vieja Escuela.
Editor’s Note: Breitbart Texas traveled to the Mexican States of
Tamaulipas, Coahuila, and Nuevo León to recruit citizen journalists willing to
risk their lives and expose the cartels silencing their communities. The
writers would face certain death at the hands of the various cartels that
operate in those areas including the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas if a pseudonym
were not used. Breitbart Texas’ Cartel Chronicles are published in both
English and in their original Spanish. This article was written by
“Francisco Morales” from Tamaulipas.

“Heroin is not produced in the United
States. Every gram of heroin present in the United States provides unequivocal
evidence of a failure of border security because every gram of heroin was
smuggled into the United States. Indeed,
this is precisely a point that Attorney General Jeff Sessions made during his
appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on October 18, 2017
when he again raised the need to secure the U.S./Mexican border to protect
American lives.” Michael Cutler …..FrontPageMag.com
