On Friday night, three
men were killed in a shooting in a nightclub in Tlaquepaque. The club, which is
called Tropi Dance, is located at the corner of Avenida 8 de Julio and Calle
San José Poniente, in Colonia Nueva Santa María, situated some seven kilometers
south of Guadalajara’s city center. According to unofficial reports, an armed
commando entered the club, apparently attempting to kidnap someone in the club.
However, while leaving with the intended abductee, a shooting erupted on the
premises of the club. The shootout was allegedly triggered by some guests
trying to prevent the kidnapping, causing the death of two men (said to be aged
between 35 and 40 years) and a 20-years-old employee. More than 50 cartridges
of different calibers were found at the crime scene.
The latest shooting is
already the second in this nightclub in 2018. In September, two men were shot
dead in the club by an armed commando in an apparent targeted killing.
Oaxaqueño Analysis:
Two nights before this
incident, an armed commando aboard two vehicles entered a house in close
vicinity to the nightclub, killing three man and a woman. The house where the
crime happened is located near the corner of calle Central and Santa Rosalía,
just about 300 metres from Tropi Dance. However, it remains unclear whether the
two incidents stand in any relation to each other.
In addition to that,
there were other purported targeted killings recorded across Guadalajara and
its metropolitan area, including Tlaquepaque, in the course of the previous
week. It can be assumed that the vast majority of these violent incidents are
related to the ongoing conflict between CJNG and its splinter group, the Nueva
Plaza Cartel. Given that the wave of violence has been going on rather unabated
for months, it seems that none of the two groups is able to significantly gain
the upper hand.
Two cartel shootings in as many months? Sounds like my kind of establishment!
ReplyDeleteA “commando” LMAO like he was a Navy Seal special forces dude instead of a stoned meth addicted crack head killer who murders for $50 USD. LOL Putrid junkies fucks need to be wiped out.
ReplyDeleteYes I find it disturbing, that they call cartel members..commando, they should call them "criminal diliquents".
DeleteA commando is a professional that served a branch of the military.

Quite a number of sicarios are police & military trained or employed.
DeleteEspecially those assigned to abductions and high profile killings. Hence why a lot of abductions involve 4 or 5 vehicles strategically placed to block exits, and are preceeded by weeks of trailing a target and conducting intelligence gathering.
The original group of Los Zetas and Grupo Escorpion come to mind for origins earning them the 'commando' label. Escorpiones were mostly police I believe, and the original Zetas were of course all special forces soldiers gone delinquent. Non-military criminals supporting Los Z prior to the CDG split were assigned to Los Lobos to differentiate if I remember correctly, this is how Z-40 & Z-50 came to join Los Z after it broke from CDG. They were originally Lobos due to starting out as civilian criminals.
Various other Cartels obviously have their own police/military trained cells for these purposes as well.
Simon !
ReplyDeleteCjng has commandos
ReplyDeleteCommandos of drugged out guys that hardly know how use a gun..NOTE:dressed tactical with high power rifles while making a narco video looking like a commando n shooting sloppy DOESNT make u a commando bud...
DeleteAll this talk has me teetering on the idea of going commando today at the office. That’s commando in terms of attire, or rather the lack of a certain undergarment. Crickets.... I’m going outside. If anyone needs me, I’ll be out-standing.
