Blockades & Shootouts Errupt in Northern Tamaulipas

Updated 2/3 below

Beginning in the evening of Sunday, February 1, reports of blockades and shootouts in northern Tamaulipas has spread online.  It appears that the first reports were of blockades and spikes being dropped on the highway between Anahuac and Valle Hermoso.

Later that night word spread of a shootout in Nuevo Progreso, followed by the highway between Rio Bravo and Reynosa being completely blocked.  Convoys of vehicles apparently carrying cartel members were also reported in Rio Bravo.

Around the same time began reports of shootouts in Reynosa.  The largest of the shootouts, occurring near the Las Fuentes traffic circle, began around 4:20 AM on February 2 and lasted over an hour and a half.  Eyewitnesses claimed multiple dead bodies in the area.  As of 7:30 PM Central Time reports of shootings in Reynosa continue.



While the situation is still developing and information is sporadic, there are indications that war is erupting between two factions of the Gulf Cartel, Matamoros and Los Metros of Reynosa.  The primary evidence supporting this is reports of vehicles with Escorpión, M3, XX, or 900 painted on the windows.

Although it has been years since these factions were united under the same leadership, hostilities appeared to be sporadic and limited in scope.  With the sudden elevated level of violence, it appears that a major development has taken place within the Gulf Cartel, the nature of which has yet to be revealed.

Update 2/3/15:
A convergence of information indicates the violence began when a member of Los Metros, Juan Francisco Carrizales, alias "El 98", who is the plaza head of Rio Bravo, attempted to attack Matamoros as part of a plan to take over the city.  Beyond that there is mixed information if he is receiving support from other members of Los Metros, in particular the plaza head of Reynosa, Sergio Velázquez, alias "El Gafe".

A number of shootouts occurred in Reynosa last night and at the moment there are numerous reports of shootouts and road blockages taking place in Matamoros, as well as convoys of vehicles with "M-3" painted on the windows, a sign used by members of Los Metros, being observed.

    1. Like the USA will have a bar of that. Western soldiers are already over there raping and pillaging, claiming Arab resources as their own. They're not going to give it to the cartels.. They're arming the cartels and profitting from the drugs. USA is arming every terrorist group around the world. And before you ignore it, do research.

      700k Papua New Guineans have been killed by Indonesia, armed, trained and supported by USA. Indigenous people all around the world are being picked off by USA or by the rich.

  6. Where is the army? One unit is supporting one group, another unit a different group. So they will not get involved. They cannot shoot another group Narco's so as not to get into a fight with another unit supporting the others. Helicopters can go around barricades and take out a lot of criminal's and stop innocent people from being killed.

    1. Why doesn't the gov force the military to act,they would in other countries[must be they are involved].Maybe this is another thing the UN needs to look at,Mexico doesn't even pretend to act.

      Delete
    2. It's obvious these factions have the green light to fight it out in the street. The military is sitting this one out. In essence Charles Darwin and Herbert Spencer said it best "survival of the fittest'. A lot of blood will be spilt before it is all said and done. Its Tamaulipas so it shouldn't surprise anyone that the Feds and military are sitting on the bench.

    3. Sinaloa sikarios hate going into Tamaulipas & Nuevo Leon they say because those fools are crazy azz fuck they don't respect nothing or no one. NE Mexico ain't no joke you better be ready to die when you set foot into those areas. I even heard Z & CDG carry there guns in plain view even if the navy or marines are around & if they have to shoot they will shoot they won't hesitate even if 100 people are close by.

    12. He notado que muchas personas se quivocan en pensar que la guerra del "Junior Cardenas" fue parte del Metros contra Rojos. Porsupuesto tuvieron su bronca Ms contra Rs, pero como dice usted, la guerra del "Junior Cardenas" fue el y Los Ciclones contra los del "XW".

      Bueno, unas preguntas que tengo:

      1. En que tiempo fue que "X20" jalaba en Rio Bravo? Tengo la duda si fue antes o despues que "Junior Cardenas" fue jefe de plaza alli.

      2. Fue luego luego despues del muerto del "Metro 3" que "X20" tomo control de Reynosa y Los Metros, o fue despues del muerto del "Metro 4"?

      3. Los Panteras fueron afin a Los Metros o solamente trabajaron con ellos por el liderazgo del "X20" y despues "Juan Perros"?

      4. Despues que arrestaron a "Juan Perros" y "El Aleman", fueron Los Ciclones que sacaron Los Panteras de Rio Bravo y Nuevo Progreso o fue Los Metros o un combinacion de los dos?

      5. Antes de esa semana, la plaza de Rio Bravo era solamente del "98 Carrizales" en nombre de Los Metros o fue compartido con Los Ciclones?

      Disculpa por tanto pregunta, pero me interesa saber mas de esas temas.

      Delete
    13. Del 98 no se mucho pero awuebo tiene k estar respaldado los metros.
      X20 estuvo en rio bravo antes k estubiera junior cardenas y pos ya despues d k tracionaron coss tambien tenia a gente en rio bravo x20 pero esa plaza era de Juan perros. X20 se fue a reyno por orden coss despuesito k quebraron a metro3 estando ayi pacto con los Cardenas y metro 4 sacar a coss de la frontera fue por eso k el xw fue desplazado d control por k era leal a coss junto con x5 coss puso en rio bravo despues dnk junior entro a matamoros

Ahora el hermano "cantu "o mas bien el gobernador de tamaulipas es del PRI....los de la DEA, ya saben todo este pedo nada mas busca un poco y encuentras. ....para poder subir al CDG para arriba se ocupa esperar al 2016, nuevo gobenador en Tamaulipas. tal vez con un buen jefe Z Y Golfo....Se puedan arreglar las. Cosas, aqui el futuro es de aventarse contra sinaloa y quitar la plaza....creo que cuando termine el PRI....la gente es muy pendeja y se van a ir con el PAN.....entonces si la cosas se van a poner sabrosas....saludos a los Lobos en nuevo laredo Rojos en reynosa y escorpiones.....asi es como eran antes....

  10. Aholes in pickups chasing Aholes in pickups CDG = Terrorists and should be treated as so. Terrorist is : a person who terrorizes or frightens others., a person, usually a member of a group, who uses or advocates terrorism. , use of violence or the threat of violence, especially against civilians. And that is what is happening in Tamps. and other places in Mexico . Not to mentioning the Silencing of the Media.

    ReplyDelete
  15. It's Reynosa vs Matamoros = Metros vs Ciclones. Right both factions are playing the waiting game to see who attacks first so far no truce yet. Juanito 98 (Metro 98) plaza boss of Rio Bravo murdered Comandante Niño from the Ciclones faction 1 month ago in the Reynosa prison.

  22. This is not stupid this is something that has been around for yrs the only difference is that back them people were more business people and way more discret now theres younger kids working on the organization which think money and cars are cool and they are but they dont realize that with 1000 pesos a week they arent buying shit but keep them happy with drugs. girls and cars that they take from other people and they will chop who ever their ordered to chop including family members of their rivals many americans dont see it but they dont. think twice on cutting a kids neck. this is something happening daily matamoros reynosa rio bravo all mexico but at the end they just fall at the bottom of the pyramid and someone else who has never been heard of is injoying life with piles of bills.
