A total of three men were found executed in a southern Chihuahua municipality Monday, according to Mexican news accounts.
A report which appeared in the online edition of El Diario de Juarez, said that the three victims were found on a road between Creel and Guachochi in Guachochi municipality.
They victims were identified as Marco Antonio Bustillos Grijalva, 33, Saul Aldo Garcia Villalobos, 31, and his brother Victor Paul 25, all of Guachochi. They were shot multiple times in the head and chest. The grim find was phoned in anonymously to Chihuahua state police, which located the murder scene Monday.
The rise in violent crime in southern Chihuahua is what is termed the 'cockroach effect', according to José Antonio Enriquez, president of the Observatorio Ciudadano de Prevención, Seguridad y Justicia de Chihuahua.
According to a news account which appeared on the website of El Siglo de Durango news daily, improvement in security in the larger cities of central and northern Chihuahua state have forced criminal gangs into the more vulnerable mountainous regions of southern and western Chihuahua.
According to an unnamed source with the Chihuahua state Fiscalia General del Estado (FGE) or attorney general, the warring parties include the Juarez and Sinaloa cartels, which are squaring off in the region for territory and trade routes.
According to Señor Antonio Enriquez, murder rates have increased dramatically in the La Tarahuara region, which includes Guadalupe y Calvo and Guachochi municipalities.
Murder rates in Chihuahua city and Ciudad Juarez are currently around 30 per 100,000, while rates in Guadalupe y Calvo is 118 per 100,000 and Guachochi, 122 per 100,000.
By comparison at the peak of drug war violence in 2010 in Ciudad Juarez, murder rates were 229 per 100,000 and in Chihuahua city, 118 per 100,000.
Señor Antonio Enriquez also said that the mountainous communities in southern Chihuahua are remote, a problem also cited in an earlier statement made last week by Chihuahua CGE Carlos Manuel Salas. Those municipalities are traditionally areas which have been in the past neglected due to the extreme remoteness of some areas.
According to Señor Antonio Enriquez, poverty also plays a roles in criminal activity in the region. Ten of the 23 municipalities have very high levels of poverty with 25 percent of the population in extreme poverty. The population is composed of mainly peasant and indigenous peoples.
In a related story, two men were sent to prison Saturday for their alleged role in the shooting at Reforma de Mesa in Guadalupe y Calvo July 21st.
According to a news report in El Norte Digital, Silverio Esmin Chaparro Olivas and Uriel Gutierrez Martinez were sent to the Centro de Readaptacion Social (CERESO) in Parral after the southern delegate of the FGE discovered the two had been admitted to a hospital for gunshot wounds.
The shootout at Reforma de Mesa took the lives of six individuals, two of whom were decapitated. There shooting was so intense at least 389 rounds of AK-47 ammunition had been expended.

ReplyDeleteSo what is actually the "cockroach effect"?
ReplyDeleteThat means everybody in Chihuahua is smoking good NATURAL weed a.d dancing to LA CUCARACHA.
DeleteArriba ojinaga putos
ReplyDeleteI have spoken to several family members in Chihuahua and they say Jaurez is calm and peaceful, that there are still certain areas of the city you shouldn't be in but for the most part killings and shootings are on the decrease. These are people that lived in southern Chihuas and took some teaching positions in Jaurez. I was surprised to hear how they said it was going well and they had no fear of living there. I also have family in Guachochi and that area has always been notorios for being in the cross fire of different narco families.
ReplyDeleteLa Genre Nueva y el CDS sigue rifando en Chiwas, y no se va de lo ke se a ganado de los contras lacras de la linea...a esos cabrones ya casi no les keda nada...ya ni los Aztecas controlan...Ya se les acabo el apoyo de la mierda Z40...la Gente Nueva no comenzó la guerra pero la vamos a terminar...Y el mal parido puto ke escriba después de mi ke vaya a chingar su madre...Y a los envidiosos ya paren de llorar.

were going to a wedding next month in juarez. we usually all go on bus. I'm a bit nervous, but hopefully everything is OK...
ReplyDeleteThe cockroach effect is when you turn on the light all the cockroach's scatter to hide in dark places or out of site.
ReplyDeleteThis is the same action for Juarez.......the marines show up take control of city and bad guys need to run and hide to an area with less police/military presence.
Or it means that Tony Montana stepped into Juarez with an AK and said "I kill you fucken cockroach's! !"
And everyone runs for cover.
El Boro de Chi-ju-ah-ju-a
Can tourist travel peacefully & without fear in Mecico? AND Which are the safe areas?
ReplyDeleteHi, i am not familiar with "Mecico". Could you please provide more information? Thanks
DeleteSantiago papasquiaro durango Mexico boiiiiiii

ReplyDeletejuarez is getting peaceful but everything started getting pretty bad around 6 months ago.. this month was calm but downtown is still very dangerous as well as other areas but pronaf and most clubs are safe.. chihuhua has been getting pretty calm in the northern part or at least parts controlled by la linea, hopefully chapo gets kicked out soon in the south so everything can get back to the way it used to
ReplyDeleteIs Ojinaga safe for Americans to visit?
ReplyDeleteBest burn the cockroaches. Mexicans are cowards for not fighting back and for allowing corruption be the norm. Todos Los pendejos que se creen verga ban a pagar con su vida. Arriba Mexicanos donde esta mis Emilio Zapata y pancho villa. Ya no dejan Los Mekos controlar.
ReplyDeleteOye pinche lambe guevos @ 9:16 am! Para de besarle el culo al chapo y diga la verdad. El pinche chapete empeso la Guerra matando a rudolfo carrillo y sus hijos guey! y luego se la pasa de dedo como informante para los de las tres letras guey! No te acuerdas de las 27 toneladas de que el y la momia del miado le dijeron al gobierno! Y dicen que no gente innocente? los hijo del nino de oro que? Si matan gente pero pura gente amarrada o sin quete. Pinches culos llegen por adelante y no por de tras!
ReplyDeleteCalmado montez,ya ests hablando como los presidentes pura babosadas,esos putos d la linea son puros placacs,los q tienen experiencia en violando y matando mujeres del valle,(maquiladoras)y extortan s todos,es miedo por los huevos d q les falta,pa controlar a todos,lindo estado d Chiwas no les guanto,seles fue el jefe carrillo real familia chinola,y salen las lacras sin cabeza.sepa algo niuna muerte es buena,pero esos policias corruptos q se dicen lalin.son perros con rabia y sea el Chapo o otro Sinalguense,les van a llegar su injectcion d mecosilina por su vena cacaria...jajaja arriba niun cartel arriba la gente. ponganse vergas alcabo son d juarez...
DeleteHistorically "cockroach" effect has been attributed to Zetas method of retreat when militars mobilized to an area. They leave until the military leaves. akin to the scattering of roaches when lights are turned on they get out of the lighted area.
ReplyDeleteI have not seen the term used to describe increased violence, it really makes little sense.
@Chivis. By what name do you call the "effect" when the other cartel/gang members scatter when the military arrives?
DeleteEy wey.you Should run for governor of chiwas or join la linea whatever comes first tas bien obsesionado con esos weyes y con los shinolas la neta mijo
ReplyDeleteArriba parral chih y toda mi gente linda de chihuahua,animo!!!
ReplyDeleteThe state department has just released it's list of Mexican states to stay away from and those with no problems.
ReplyDeleteTheir list is overkill and just because a city is on the list it does not mean that a city 50 miles away should be on the list. more often than not, that is not the case.
If you have some places in mind that would be helpful. Cabo is a great place and its crime rate is better than most American destinations.
Juarez Cartel cleaning up Chiwas. GOOD good
ReplyDeleteat 8:14 PM
ReplyDeleteOh stop running your mouth,canucks are the most soft liberal ass idiots there are,good people but gone too far,he is Mex-American,i think he knows more than you?
I have friends who are,,,,good for you.Liberal big mouthed fools,we dont all love one another you know?Is that computing?
La Linea might be hitting it hard but Chapo still has people there to support him. Local families in regions like Parral, Balleza, Guachochi, Guadalupe y Calvo and a few others. Those areas have always been influenced by people from Sinaloa. GN are not all Sinaloaenses, they are people from Chihuahua who have chosen to be involved with CDS and their people.
ReplyDeleteUr obviously not from chih,especially from the towns u mentioned.chihuahenses have their own style their own accent their own culture. In parral and the rest of those towns nobody says plebe.im from parral and have family in balleza so i know.i remember when chalino was hittin harder in so cal than in chih, nobody had really heard of him there.every state has its own style, now it makes sense tho dat cds took control of so chih becuz of it closeness to durango and sinaloa but the main capos in that area. Werent from sinaloa they were from chih, salguieros etc... in co hoots with cds
DeleteI think that when he said influenced, he ment in the drug traffic Not culture
Delete...chuy
"La Genre Nueva y el CDS sigue rifando en Chiwas"
ReplyDelete"aca en chihua los de la gente nueva nunca salen a lo abierto,never!!!as soon as they do,juarez cartel kills them"
Whom do we believe?Its always the same,CDS/GN making ground?
La Linea killing CDS and in charge?Rumor of GN not aligned with CDS anymore?Who knows,even if we got Line or New People commenting,they wouldn't be believed?
Their is prob. Sleeper cells from cds in the city. Not makin much noise n layin low. U can say what u want but other cartels have ppl n other cartels plazas
ReplyDeletewhat are all these cartels fighting for... no one will ever be able to control everything shake hands divide the plazas stay out of each others way and flood the gringos with drugs am I right or am I right... if they stop all the violence the government will stop going after them... only if amado carrillo were still alive things would be different....
ReplyDelete@12:38 p.m thats what the five italian crime families in n.y did and for the most part it worked for them not always but for the most part.they just divided up their areas and went about their criminal activity.the cartel bosses could have meetings with each other like they did.they shouldnt be so greedy it will be their downfall
DeleteAmado Carrilo, was also a back stabbing blood thirsty individual. He wasn't really any different, he wanted the whole drug trade for himself. I have not ever heard of anyone not wanting to be top dog and in Mexico the SCARFACE syndrome is in full effect. The times of people sharing the pie are far and few between because it has hit a entire new level down there. In Guachochi and Guadalupe y Calvo they fight for the weed plantations and the right to buy them from the local crime families. It's a never ending war there.
ReplyDeletechihuahua slowly returning to peace now that chapo is getting his ass kicked. la linea is tough and it will be very hard for chapo to control it if even if he brings military and federales again now that la linea fights and lays low like guerrilla fighting but withouth the military and federales its almost impossible to win against la linea, now that the people are tired of this war and the killings chapo started
ReplyDeleteat 12:38 PM
ReplyDelete"divide the plazas stay out of each others way and flood the gringos with drugs"
Ohh,so is that the big dastardly plan?Flood the gringo blongos with dope,and get all the children ensnared and civilization will fall?Ohh i get it."Ey gringo blingo bluto,we dont need no stinking badges we got dope,rifamos y controlamos,,,el trabajo sucio,,,ya dig "
No sigas pendejadas, Ponte serio
DeleteThe sick truth is there might be a few places safer than others which perpetuates the problems and illusions of the situation mexico is safe.
ReplyDeleteAs long as Pepe is pouring the margaritas and people are sticking their finger up Pepe's butt. Things will remain the same in the cat and mouse game in Mexico. Look I don't hate mexico ... I hate the corruption , filth, abuse, and evil perpetuated against innocent people. And the fact it is not safe to drive a Ford F250 4x4 down RT2 in Tamps without disappearing without a trace. Mexico is as failed state with no hope. Goodnight Gente
All this talk about la linea kicking chapo's ass... is there any evidence of this... EPIC (EL PASO INTELLIGENCE CENTER) constantly reports that the drug loads that are coming through Juarez (which in case you didn't know amount to 60% of all drugs that come into the united states) are mostly Chapo's... When news reports come out that 3 ppl or 5 or 6 are executed in Chihuas there is a dumb piece of shit on this blog that states "Oh it's La Linea kicking Chapo's ass", most likely it's La Linea robbing ppl out of their vehicles and personal belongings and then executing them like they did to those 5 women a few months back... I live in El Paso and from what I hear about ppl in Chihuahua, La linea are the lowest of the lows right down there with the zetas, what ppl fail to understand is that Sinaloa and Juarez worked together for a very long time prior to Vicente's drug addict ass taking control of the cartel, families working for Sinaloa have lived in Chihuahua for a very long time prior to this war... but hey to each his own, some ppl just love suckin off La Linea!!
