Tensions in Culiacán have reached a boiling point as two members of the Chapitos were recently captured by Gente del Sombrero, a faction loyal to Los Mayos. Reports indicate the captives were subjected to brutal torture, including the removal of their ears—a disturbing display of power intended to send a message in the ongoing cartel war. This gruesome act marks a significant escalation in the ongoing feud between the Chapitos and Los Mayos, two rival factions within the notorious Sinaloa Cartel.
The city of Culiacán, already familiar with violence and unrest, has now been pushed to the brink. Local residents are staying sheltered indoors as fear grips the streets. The government has advised civilians to remain at home, as various areas of the city remain on lockdown due to increased cartel activity. Schools and businesses have closed, and streets that were once bustling are now eerily quiet as the people of Culiacán brace themselves for what may come next.
The rivalry between the Chapitos—the sons of infamous drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán—and Los Mayos, led by Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada, has intensified in recent months. Both factions are vying for control of key territories within the Sinaloa Cartel, leading to an all-out war that has claimed many lives on both sides. This latest incident of torture has only stoked the flames, leaving the future uncertain as the violence shows no signs of slowing.
The situation in Culiacán serves as a grim reminder of the ongoing cartel wars that continue to devastate Mexico, particularly in the state of Sinaloa. With entire cities forced into lockdown and a war that appears to have no end in sight, many are left wondering how much worse the conflict will get before some semblance of peace can be restored.
For now, the people of Culiacán remain on high alert, trapped in a conflict that seems far from over.
