Eleven unidentified individuals were found dead in the Sierras of western Chihuahua state Monday, the aftermath of a gunfight between rival criminal groups, according to Mexican news accounts.
The gunfight which killed the ten took place between Sunday night and Monday morning.
A group of Chihuahua state police and ministerial agents Monday had been dispatched to an area called La Guitarra in Temosachi municipality, when it came under small arms fire from an armed group of unknown size waiting in the hills.
The group which fired on the police apparently withdrew when the agents returned fire. Neither the police nor their attackers had been wounded by gunfire in the incident. Police agents were unable to initiate pursuit of their attackers.
In the location agents found 11 dead, all apparently members of a criminal group.
The dead were identified as Hermes Yañez Gamezm 39, AKA El Choco, Jose Olivas Gamez, 35, Jose Juan Bojorquez Soto, 22, Ruelas Moncerrat Castle, 29, Arturo Tello Salinas 36 all from Cuauhtemoc municipality.
Also identified were Gil Noe Varela Gonzalez, 39, Efrain Marquez Perez, 53, Jesus Tello Mendoza, 25, all from Temosachi.
Security forces also seized one .22 caliber rifle, one AR-15 rifle, one grenade and nine ballistic vests.
A Mexican Army unit has been subsequently dispatched to the area to provide additional security.
Temosachi municipality is between Madera municipality and Ciudad Cuauhtemoc, and is about 200 kilometers west of Chihuahua city.
Temosachi is also in the area of Mexico known as the Tarahumara Sierras, which is populated by indigenous Indians, some of whom are direct ascendants of the Aztecs. Criminal groups have in the past forced indigenous communities in Chihuahua and Durango state to grow drugs for sale, acting as feudal lords when those communities refused by torching residences.
The area is also undergoing a food crisis termed as a structural famine due to drought and extreme low temperatures, and due to the fact many Indian farmers in the region are subsistence farmers.
Last month Catholic Bishop of the Tarahumara diocese, Rafael Sandoval Sandoval told a religious group in Puebla, that Tarahumara Indians are forced to grow drug to survive because of the drought conditions.

ReplyDeleteBodies pile and Chapos smile.
ReplyDeleteBest killings this year so far,so who can complain if these idiots kill each other.Criminals will abuse anybody indians,immigrants,business people,thats why civalized countyrys have law and order.
ReplyDeleteTarahumara are not descendants of Aztec.
ReplyDeletethere was a message in ciduad victoria signed by el chapo pinches ratazz are getting their asses kicked jaja cdg+cds are cleaning house
ReplyDeleteThis blog is pro Beltran-zeta bro that's why, they don't publish material that shows when Beltran-zetas get there asses stomped but things are gearing up for a big shodown, El Chapo is fed up with these Maruchan eating jotos, the streets of Nuevo Laredo and C. Victoria are going to need a lot of dump trucks to pick up all the dead mugrosozzz. The rest who know they can't hang will go into hiding just wait and see.
ReplyDelete"Indians are forced to grow drug to survive because of the drought conditions."
ReplyDeleteSo, drugs are the only commodity that will grow under drought conditions?
All this violence and the USA still will not deal with its disgusting addiction to drugs.
ReplyDeleteIts about time. Now chapo is in z teritory. And the zetas were braging about entering culiacan. But if it wasnt for the beltran's the zetas never woulde have made it in. And heres chapo just waltzing right into the heart of zeta turf.tmlps is going to be a bloody dangerous bitch the next couple of months.
ReplyDeleteSame thing could been said about the Sinaloa Cartel,without the help of Cartel del Golfo chapo would of never reached Nuevo Laredo.
DeleteWe all da heat chapo has on him and his cds,why would he announce himself like dat,cmon guys instead of being cheerleaders use ur heads a little.the man is not so stupid as to announce himself to mexican gov and to challenge a cartel in and around their own turf!! Cds has not won one clear descisive battle yet, hes having problems in sinaloa, in chihuahua and he just made enemies of the knights of michoacan or cts, so in perspective i think its just a ploy to bring more heat to cds and chapo in specific and believe me da more bad press he gets the more the mex gov is forced to capture him and his cohorts!!!!
ReplyDeleteChapo's head of security is not dead, all the hits he has taken are two sided, people don't realise that Calderon's propaganda is only to help his campaign. The US and Mex are not intrested in capturing Chapo, he makes a lot of money for CIA, DEA, ATF, Mex gov, US gov, CDS and now CDG is reaping rewards of being an alli, with backing from Mex Army, and Marina CDG has made inroads into C. Victoria and Nuevo Laredo. CDS is now in tne picture aswell, bad news for the zetas because all these forces are out to tighten the noose around there necks. A lot going to happen in the next 9 months wait and see.
DeleteChapo orginisation is working along side the DEA AND CIA. Wake up pips, they are targeting L Z's
ReplyDeletelos zetas no van a controllar su pinche pueblo llenos de miertha arriba los c.d.g. chingen su madre los que no les gusta
ReplyDeleteI dont support any group even tho i despise sicarios who are filth especially the stereotypical zeta , but when exactly to Beltranes get their ass kicked ive never heard 1 story about this happening , i do hear alot about BL slaughtering Chapos & Mayos all over Sinaloa Sonora & Nayarit
ReplyDeleteThere will b alot of cheerleading when its announced. Chapo slammed them hard with what he said
ReplyDeleteMan,all you people believe any blanket they put up.Who the fuck believes that he sanctioned shit like that.Why would he announce anything,could be fuckin CDG,CJNG,GN,fuck knows.What are the Z supposed to do,fuckin run away and hide,i doubt it.This is all shady shit,lets see what happens.
ReplyDeleteDude check out what you wrote.This blog is pro Beltran,Zetas because they dont publish material that shows when Beltran, Zetas get there asses stomped.
ReplyDeleteWell go to another blog and try really really hard to find what your looking for because chapos kids or should i say sicarios are no match for los Zetas and Beltran Leyva gunmen. Its been shown more than five times in huge firefights.
Damn im guessing what ive been hearing is true about la linea holdng ground. Chapos been havin trouble in chihuas since he tried to take over, but as you can see why are there shootouts like that between cds and juarez?
ReplyDeleteLast year la liñea and zetas announced they were allies and going to take parral in a week. And they havent.
DeleteI also believe the US agencies are using CDS and supplying them info somehow. A very smart, hands-free, clean way to dispose of the cartel that is bad for business because they know Mexico is too corrupt to pass info to. Crazy world when the cartel is actuall the one you trust!!!!
ReplyDeleteI heard from a friend that his brother is a halcon for thezetas in nuevo laredo that his brother is scared and cant run because they will kill his family. And that the zetas a super broke and that they dont have any money
ReplyDeleteUr wrong buddy .. The zetas got in cuz blo.. And cds got in cuz of cdg
ReplyDeleteI heard from a friend that his brother is a halcon for thezetas in nuevo laredo that his brother is scared and cant run because they will kill his family.
ReplyDelete-----------
Damn, gotta force someone to be with you. That shows how desperate they are. Its true though. that is a tactic they use. I've seen it
I don't believe the blanket,that its from Guzman.But dude at March 27, 2012 8:33 PM .
ReplyDeleteThat could make sense,about the Z hurting for money,and the lookout shit sure makes sense,especially if they know who dude is.He can take off,but they wont have no problem murkin his family if he runs.Where the fuck he gonna run to anyway.
"All this violence and the USA still will not deal with its disgusting addiction to drugs"
