The Body and The Sign
At around 6:45 pm on the night of Friday, February 4, 2022, the emergency phone line received a report from a citizen who said they spotted what they believed to be a dead body lying to the side of the road. They said they first spotted it, they believed it was discarded garbage but they now believed it was actually human remains.
At around 7:02pm, social media user DJNAN MTY reported on Facebook that “There is a dead man on Vaquerías Avenue, near Paséo de Guadalupe Avenue. There is still no police at the scene,”.
Based on the earlier phone report, police officers were dispatched to the location and there they discovered human remains of a male, lying face down in a patch of grass, to the side of the road.
He reportedly had a neon orange narco message stabbed into his body. An alleged photo of the sign, read as follows:
This is going to happen to all the members of the Northeast Cartel and family of Treviño.
From,
Cartel de Sinaloa
The message which threatens members of the Northeast Cartel (Cártel del Noreste, CDN) also specifically mentions the family of Treviño, likely alluding to the overall leader of CDN, Juan Gerardo Treviño Chávez, alias "El Huevo".
According to Alerta Guadalupe NL, the man had his hands still bound and his body showed signs of torture. The photo above appears to show his hands duct taped together behind his back.
Noticias de NL reports his head was covered with a plastic bag. News outlet Telediario writes that a police source revealed to them that “no shell casings or signs of violence were observed around the body, so it is presumed that the deceased was left at the site already lifeless.”
Recent Cartel History Surrounding Guadalupe
The municipality of Guadalupe in Nuevo León, is a part of the greater metropolitan area of the major city of Monterrey. Prior to 2018, it appears that the drug sales within Gudalupe were controlled by a faction of the Gulf cartel (Cártel del Golfo, CDG).
The first rumbling of the war to come occurred in July 2018 when a series of attacks occurred at five different bars across the greater Monterrey area that left 12 dead. It was rumored that CDN was behind the attacks.
Later that month, CDN hung a series of narco banners in Guadalupe which blamed Daniela Guadalupe Castillo Nava, alias “La Daniela” and her husband who allegedly claimed to be from CDN, however CDN said they are not actually associated with her. In early October 2018, La Daniela was arrested alongside an accomplice in Monterrey after police followed up on a report about a man and a woman seen counting a large amount of cash inside a white Mercedes Benz vehicle.
In late October 2018, CDN regional boss Héctor Raúl Luna Luna, alias “El Tory” was released from prison. El Tory was the longtime leader of CDN forces in the Monterrey area up until he went to prison in June 2010.
After 8 years of being behind bars, El Tory came back to the streets of Monterrey with a vengeance. CDN began a major campaign to take over all the CDG plazas located in the greater Monterrey area. He also aimed to get all the various independent groups around Monterrey to submit to paying a percent of their earnings to CDN or if they refused, be eliminated by CDN forces.
One of El Tory’s direct reports and top lieutenants was Rodolfo “'N”, aliases “El Mostro” and “Pomo”. According to La Verdad, both El Tory and El Mostro were said to have a direct working relationship with the overall leader of CDN, El Huevo.
By July 2019 the CDN campaign had reached Guadalupe, evidently, as a narcomanta was left in which read as follows:
The cleaning begins. We have arrived turncoats, rats, kidnappers, drug dealers, and independents.
Police officers that support them wake up.
Gordo, Negra, Pescado, Cerezas, we are going to take them out.
From.
CDN [Cártel del Noreste]
On January 1, 2020, El Mostro was arrested along with five other CDN members. He was arrested between the municipalities of San Nicolás and Apodaca, which are both a part of the greater Monterrey area. His arrest came after a series of targeted operations organized by agents from the State Attorney General’s Office (FGE).
At the time of El Mostro’s arrest, El Tory was said to be hiding away from Monterrey and organizing operations from afar while he was laying low in the CDN stronghold city of Nuevo Laredo which is located in the state of Tamaulipas.
In April 2021, a bar called Zertuche La Clamateria was approached by two cars full of cartel hitmen who shot up the establishment, workers and patrons indiscriminately being fired at by at least 42 shots according to the number of shell casings later found. For more details, please see this previous story by MX.
Later it emerged that the bar allegedly had a punto, or drug sale point, for an independent cartel group led by “El Kamala”. Allegedly the hitmen who attacked the bar belonged to Cártel Independiente de Nuevo León.
“Cártel Independiente de Nuevo León”, or the Independent Cartel of Nuevo León, is led by Joel Rodolfo Ramones Barda, alias “El Rodo”. El Rodo’s group was later revealed to be working on behalf of the Sinaloa Cartel, as evidenced by the MZ hitmen who gave him a video shoutout in September 2021.
Then in May 2021, a decapitated head, with the eyelids mutilated, was left in an ice chest accompanied by a narcomanta in the Valle Soleado area of Guadalupe. For more details, please see this previous story by Sol.
The narco message is read as follows:
Townspeople of Valle Soleado. We are tired of seeing innocent civilians being killed. Here lies one of the principal murderers.
This message goes out to the individuals who go by the names Diablo and Chisquiado, who just aren’t brave enough to show their faces in public.
Just as well the message also goes out to the Guadalupe Municipal Policemen in patrol cars numbered 100, 112, 116, and 120.
Don’t allow yourselves to be deceived like this dumb ass that lies here dead. We are also not fucking around.
Sincerely,
Hahaha Joker
So who is this Joker person and which cartel is he from? Well, we can't be certain but it is worth mentioning that in an under-reported incident just a few days earlier, Sinaloa Cartel left a banner in this exact same neighborhood where they specifically call out and name the same two people of “Diablo” and “El Chisqueado” [sic].
The most current, verifiable information we have on who controls the areas around Monterrey is the following: In June 2021, Proceso reported that according to a report prepared by the State Investigation Agency (AEI), the believe the Monterrey area is controlled by “in the south, in the Independencia and Sierra Ventana neighborhoods, the Sinalocos. In the east, in the municipalities of Juárez and Guadalupe, a gang controlled by an inmate of the Apodaca prison; to the west, in Santa Catarina and García, Los Billys.”
The Sinalocos refers to a group working for the Sinaloa Cartel. The “inmate of the Apodaca prison” refers to El Rodo and Cártel Independiente de Nuevo León, who as mentioned earlier are allied with CDS. Whereas, Los Billys are an independent group with no alliance to a larger organization. Los Billys are covered in more detail in this previous story.
We also know that the recently arrested Sinaloa Cartel boss Alan Ervey Juárez Castillo, alias “El Cano”, was said to have hitmen operating in the municipalities of Escobedo, San Nicolás, Apodaca, and General Zuazua, as well as some level of presence in Santa Catarina and Monterrey municipality.

That's a huge threat, correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the egg (el huevo) people of z40? Sinaloa might be playing with fire if you ask me.
ReplyDeleteIf you check out the family tree I made that's placed right after the photo of the orange sign, you can see exactly how Huevo is related to Z40 actually. :)
DeleteWhat happened to the CDN and CDS alliance..?
ReplyDeleteDidn't last long but then again I think it's MAYO that has the truce.
Then again. Isn't mayo in Nuevo Leon 🤔
I thought Chapo and z40 became friends in prison. Chapo wouldn't allow this if true.
DeleteWhy hasn't Z40 been extradited yet? 🤔
ReplyDeleteCIA asset, Same with mencho.
DeleteBack in 2007 or 2008 this US Army officer, he was married to a second aunt and they were passing by in Monterrey and then visiting . remembered asking him about his opinion of Los Z. He said they were a neccesary evil. He also supported the war on Iraq and Afghanistan back in 2002,saying they'll be just fine as long as it was quick. We know how both topics devolved into lol.
