Unfortunately, there has been a narco news blackout in Tamps since 2010, typically sources on the ground and social media have been used to glean information of situations, events that occurred and SDR’s. Unfortunately, social media is also a breeding ground for baseless rumors that spread and become “fact”. It is an extremely difficult situation for reporting, in an explosive region.

"El Orejón/Ciclón 7"- Matamoros
By Itzli April 7th
I begin by providing a brief recap and summary of
information found elsewhere in other threads. The general consensus late last
year was that the Gulf Cartel was divided into three major factions. Based out
of Reynosa, the Metro faction was headed by X20. Based out of Matamoros, the
Ciclones faction was headed by Homero Cardenas. Based out of Tampico, the CDG
Sur faction was headed by K14. There was tension and outright conflict between
Los Metros and Los Ciclones, while CDG Sur was aligned with Matamoros.
Within Los Metros there were conflicts between competing
cells. X20 conducted a purge of those aligned with El Gringo, though X20
himself would later be arrested. Afterwards, conflict was predicted as a number
of individuals seemed poised to compete for the leadership, yet things seemed
to remain calm. Last week saw the arrest of El Simple, who was a member of Los
Metros, though his power within the group is debated.
Within Los Ciclones, it was speculated that Homero was
gradually consolidating power within the Gulf Cartel as a whole. Yet recent
reports indicate that he suffered a medical setback last November which led to
him being hospitalized. Rumors of his death have surfaced, as well as reports
that Los Ciclones have been investigating if Los Metros had a hand in it.
Within CDG Sur, reports of extortion and kidnappings
increased in Tampico and K14 was directly blamed. He would eventually be
arrested as a result of betrayal by his own faction. A number of potential
replacements were heard, but it appeared El Wuasa, a native of Matamoros took
over, only to be executed by his followers and members of his family were
killed and kidnapped at his funeral.
The Emerging Conflict
Over the weekend, a number of shootouts and killings
occurred in Tampico. On the surface it would appear that it is the fallout of
the death of El Wuasa as members seek revenge or to gain power. Yet there seems
to be more going on and it appears that those acting in the conflict are pawns
of an increasing conflict between Los Metros and Los Ciclones.
As best I can piece together based upon information on Valor
por Tamaulipas, the struggle in Tampico on the surface the axis of power is
shifting from the urban zone to the rural zone.
In Tampico there is a group called Los Jimmy, founded by
Comandante Jimmy who was executed or killed in Reynosa some time ago. Members
of the group have a call sign using the initial J followed by a number. After
Comandante Jimmy's death, El Chive, also known as J2, took control of the group
along with his brother, El Tony, also known as J3.
Los Jimmy are fighting to wipe out Arturo "El
Sheyla/Sheila" Garza Treviño, provoking conflicts in Tampico and Ciudad
Madero. "El Sheyla" was trained in Sinaloa by former soldiers and had
previously worked under "El Coss" and "El Sierra" before
working under "K14". He has been in charge of the war, alongside Los
K, against Los Zetas in Tampico since 2010 and was the creator of Grupo Dragon.
He currently is backed by Los Ciclones of Matamoros.
It appears that Tampico is now a proxy fight between Los
Metros and Los Ciclones.

In a nutshell, what was written in this article is exactly what is going in Tamaulipas between the rival factions of CDG. If you it could still call it Cartel del Golfo. It's more like the cartel del los
ReplyDeleteCiclones or CDLM.
Thank you I live Tamps. this information is good Thanks
ReplyDeletewould the rojos be considered the ciclones now?
ReplyDeleteLos rojos split some joined metros some ciclones, los rojos were an all around enforcement group from different plazas that did the zetas job after they split from them
DeleteI got one question.so who the hell killed el metro 3 who was the one cdg lider who was not just respected but liked.was it el r 1 or was it his own people.
ReplyDeleteSopposely his own people , betrayed by X20 n was blamed on los rojos R1 , si seran pendejos cdg was at one top at one point but since they started fighting with each other have lost many people , maybe one day they'll be one whole cartel and get back to the top
DeleteHis bff did it.
DeleteEntonces la faccion the reynosa no vale verga.ellos son los k mataron al metro.ese x20 nunca fue patron ni de reynosa mucho menos del cdg.
DeleteNow that Z40 is locked up, there's more talk about Z42. He's a bad, bad guy, just like his brother. I think he's a sadist with no limits just like his brother. We haven't heard the last from this guy.
ReplyDeleteits about time... thanks for the info on tamps. can we see more?
ReplyDeleteSo this means El Sheila is the supporter of kidnappings and extortion?
ReplyDeleteWhat about El Juanillo? What plaza is he in charge of?
ReplyDeleteCmdte wuasa was a good man. I knew his familia, was really tite wid one of his cousins 'el chispa' (not zeta chispa). He didn't deserve to go down like dat, especially after all da work he had put in for cdg, and to wipe out his whole familia at his funeral was a fucking horrible thang to do. Alot of backstabbing going on within cdg at da moment, can't trust no one
ReplyDeleteThat's what happened after the cds truce. Mixed feelings but most of all panocheo between fractions of cdg. The only one in my point of view that had all needed to be the 1 was M3. Reynosa lost respect of matamoros due to leadership failure in matamoros. When the z cdg split reynosa was the one who acted and fought mainly Miguel Aleman to reynosa financially as well. The bs in tampico is who is going to keep the route in other words the $ the drugs. In what did cdg cds alliance help us nothing cause when this happened the michoacanos where the ones who came to fight no sinaloa. In my opinion they played CDG with some old but great strategies called divide and conquer. .....
DeleteWas Comandante wuasa from El 20 De noviembre in matamoros??
Deleteglad u decided to pick up on tamps news, keep it up, excelent artical

ReplyDeleteOk first of all Omar looks like he's at a luau in that picture. The other cat looks like he's retarded or got dropped on his head or somthin' damn. And Maxiley just keeps mad doggin' motherfuckers dude chill!
ReplyDeleteThis was very informative i wish there was more articles like this thank you. Also encase yall didn't know Eduardo flores borrego "el negro" of Cdg is really m3 brother sometimes he is confused with m4 because of the moniker.
ReplyDeleteSoon Sheyla's head will be on a stick.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the Zetas will be taking over all of Mexico. It is funny how the CDS and GDG's huggers keep trying to write them off...
So whyd they kill wausons and whyd they kill his family?
ReplyDeleteYea el negro is M3 brother
ReplyDeleteI saw a documentary on Juan Raul Garza. That he was the first Kingpin to get the death sentence. Does anybody know for what cartel he worked for?
ReplyDeleteChivis can you do an article on him and let us readers know more about him
I don't understand why these two factions are fighting over the Zetas leftovers. Yes the Tamaulipas state is a valuable and stragetic drug trafficking corridor but the reality is that the Zetas will just come and take it if and when they want it. My guess is that the Zetas have discussed a truce with one of those factions and will sit this one out. That way they can focus mainly on pushing the remnants of the CDS out of Chihuahua.
ReplyDeleteCDG has been stopping nomourus attemps from the zetas to take the plaza since 2010 they really want do your research buddy
DeleteDamn you have to be a professor. Your fucking smart damn when I go up I want to be just like you.
DeleteThe reason they fight because they r not businessmen, the Itaitains cartels were busineemen
ReplyDeleteThe Italian cartels where a bunch of rats \ snitches.
DeleteI heard "El Grande" from Nuevo Laredo got killed a while back.
ReplyDeleteEl M14 controls Frontera Chica . From Diaz Ordaz to now Miguel Aleman who's leader was ambushed by M14. The zetas have set up to take control of Miguel aleman but M14 and his metros are controlling all areas of entrance. It could be a battle brewing.
ReplyDeleteI am going to Mexico to see family, pray for me

ReplyDelete"Entonces la faccion the reynosa no vale verga.ellos son los k mataron al metro.ese x20 nunca fue patron ni de reynosa mucho menos del cdg"
"X20 was never patron of Reynosa much less CDG"
I can believe this more than the bullshit of X20 being jefe of CDG?There are still many long time CDG cmdtes operating?
I dont think the Z are trying to take shit over right now,they to busy tryin to make paper and hold what they have,the sicarios and cmdtes of estacas in NL are young kids who go down all the time against marinos
ReplyDeleteSo about this Homero cárdenas????
ReplyDelete"I am going to Mexico to see family, pray for me"
ReplyDeleteAhh hey man,its not that bad,can i go with ye?I'll hold your hand ?

ReplyDeleteOnly posting to a 2 year old article in hopes of mods seeing this.. Can we please have an updated version of the CDG report?
