With the full entrance of CJNG to the fight between Sinaloa and the young fraction of Cartel Arellano Felix, the quantity of murders and the areas of danger of the city have expanded. In this moment, the bloody bath gets worse, man are being dismembered and narcomantas are being left. In the colonies were the fights are more intense, the neighbors complain and consider that the safest thing to do is to look the other way and pretend that nothing happened. 

"There you go. So you can see who commands in Tijuana. Att. Aquiles"

Around 1100 AM, Wednesday 23rd, of August, a couple was gunned down in Fraccionamiento Santa Fe. The area was not included in the 10 most dangerous areas of the city, however, the delegation San Antonio de los Buenos belongs to that area, and it has a red mark.

"Because of the incursion of the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion with the young members of the CAF, the areas of danger of the city continue to expand", said an investigator to ZETA.

The Santa Fe victims were identified as Brayan Garmiño Moreno and a young woman, identified as Joselyn Garate Marquez. Regarding Joselyn, the investigators of the State Council of Security, know that she is the ex-girlfriend of Salvador Alcala Gonzalez, who was arrested in September 13, of 2014 in Mazatlan, Sinaloa, due to an apprehension order with purposes of extradition into the United States for "drug trafficking and conspiracy to traffic drugs"; he was also identified as an operator of the Cartel Arellano Felix in Baja California since 2012.

Brayan Garmiño CAF

Regarding Brayan, the authorities have two versions: The state indicates that he is the brother of Carlos Garmino Gonzelez (CAF leader) and a cousin of Fernando Garmino Moreno "El Fashion", "La Muñeca", or "La Barbie", both detained in february of 2016. The Federal government claimed that he is the brother of "El Fashion" and a cousin of "El Karateca". And one day before an attack was perpetrated against Brayan, cops visited his home without any results.

In 2012 this young man was detained while trying to charge 2000 dollars in Los Alamos for extortion. And in October of 2014, he was shot in an armed attack inside ZKA nightclub, where El Karateka" made it out with any injuries. Everything in Tijuana.

During wednesday's incident, it was Garmino who drove the vehicle where he was attacked, to Hospital Del Carmen, where he was medically assisted.

However, authorities claim that this rise in violance started in August 16, and the criminals have focused in the Third area of La Zona Rio. Criminals have documented this area with violance through dismembered bodies, gunned down individuals and narcomantas.

Confrontation through Narcomessages 

The morning of Tuesday 16th of August, outside People's nightclub a luggage with a black bag inside was located, inside the bag, the body of an unidentified man was found. Limbs and head were ripped apart from the body and the following message was left"

For the authorities, this is a message from Victor Hugo Mejia Lopez "El Griego", who represents the interests of the Cartel de Sinaloa of the brothers Alfonso and Rene Arzate, against CJNG-CAF of the people of Gamiño Moreno.

Then, around 6AM of the morning of August 20th, another narcomessage with the body of a dismembered man was left inside a luggage in the area of the bridge of Gato Bronco: 

"This is what bridges are for, bunch of dirties. Not for letters or stupid mantitas, Pendejas Strippers of CAF and dolls of Jalisco. Here we are still in command: Arturo Gomez (El Gross). Jose Juan Perez (El Piolin). Pablo Edwin Huerta Nuño (El Flaco), Edgar Alejandro Herrera (El Caiman o El Zame or El Cabo 8). Ill make you sit down assholes. You cant mess with me FIERRO METAL".

During the same Saturday 20th of August, after 5PM, in Colonia Lomas de la Presa, Luis Angel Astengo was executed, and a manta with the following message was left to his body: 

"Here is your fucking green sky. All the people of La Rana and Akiles go fuck yourself. CJNG-CAF".

Some clients demonstrated support and others made comments such as:

"Something bad is going to happen there very soon, there has been a lot of threats, you come in and the type of people that go there creates a tense atmosphere, you go to the restroom and you see people snorting cocaine, the waiters sell drugs, everybody in there thinks they are Zambada...".
