Sicario #1: We are the Cartel de Sinaloa. And this greeting goes out to Rodó in the city of Juárez, Nuevo León. We are the absolute mob of Mayo Zambada. We are at your service sir.
Sicario #2: We are the absolute mob of Mayo Zambada.
The Independent Cartel of Nuevo León, according to a 2018 issue of Proceso magazine, first announced its existence by placing a narcomanta (narco message sign) on the wire fence of an elementary school located on San Ángel Avenue in the city of Monterrey in February 2018 . The narcomanta contained some basic threats to named enemies and no leadership figure of the Independent Cartel was mentioned. So their presence in the area can be traced back to at least 2018.

At the end of 2019, there was a notable uptick in homicides in Nuevo Leon and the state’s Deputy Prosecutor Luis Orozco Suárez was asked in January 2020 if this was caused by another large cartel group having entered the state, upsetting the existing power balance.
Prosecutor Orozco Suárez ruled out the possibility that a large cartel group had newly entered the state to operate, however, he pointed out that what is "new" or "different" is the existence of groups calling themselves "independent".

"This is novel or different from prior situations in previous years, like in the period 2010-2011, where the connotation of the criminal groups that disputed the square was very marked," said Orozco Suárez, referring to the Zetas-Gulf Cartel.
“These [new] groups are not aligned to the main cartels that are dedicated to drug trafficking, kidnapping or collection of extortion fees. Today this phenomenon is much more latent than in the past and it somehow generates reactions among the cartels ”, explained Orozco.
He added that these independent groups were harder to investigate because their members were more widely dispersed around the state and were not contained to just the metropolitan area of Monterrey.
He said another challenge of investigating the independent groups was the sheer size of them, as they contained a large number of people, saying “We know that there are a high number of people. That makes it complex, of course, to identify by first name, last name, and differentiate, which is the requirement for us legally, before taking a case to the Judiciary, but of course that is the task of the Prosecutor's Office.”
One of the more recent communications to specifically named El Rodo appeared on June 11, 2020. On this day, El Rodo’s group hung up two narcomantas in Guadalupe, which is part of the greater Monterrey metropolitan area, in the state of Nuevo León. They placed the narcomantas on bridges over Lázaro Cárdenas Avenue and Pablo Livas Avenue.
PSK Security uploaded a photo of one of the narcomantas hung. The narcomanta reads as follows, as translated by Sol Prendido:
Look here you sons of bitches.
I’m going to give you 72 hours to release my operatives.
Otherwise, I’m going to give you hell like I did yesterday in Juárez.
I’ll kill more innocent civilians along with policemen.
Therefore, you’ve all been warned in advance.
Sincerely,
The Independent Cartel of El Rodo
Just prior to the appearance of the narcomanta, on June 7, 2020, there was an abduction of a businessman in Guadalupe that then led to a chase then shootout with the Specialized Immediate Search Group (AEI) who were able to free the kidnapped businessman and arrest a number of the kidnappers. Considering the content of the narcomanta and arrest of the cartel member just a few days prior, one might assume that El Rodo's Independent Cartel of Nuevo León was the group behind the kidnapping.
Warning: Gunfight and loud screaming from people holding camera.
Number 1 thing during a crisis, don't be a lady and start screaming all over the place, you can become the victim, the situation is already stressful as it is stay calm. Yelling at flying bullets is a no no.
