Guanajuato is one of the states with the highest number of police killings so far in 2019, this is revealed by a count of the civil organization Causa en Común , ie Common Cause.

Until the end of October, in the entity governed by the PAN Diego Sinhué Rodríguez , 46 agents had lost their lives.

Irapuato, Celaya and Salamanca are the three municipalities with the most police cases and Public Security elements killed. Among the three, there are 20 deceased police officers out of the 46 who have died in the entity.

Celaya and Irapuato accumulate seven victims each, followed by Salamanca, with six elements. In the latter municipality, five custodians of the Social Reintegration Center (Cereso) Mil, were ambushed and killed by armed men, on September 19.

León is still on the list with four police officers killed, followed by San Francisco del Rincón and Pénjamo, with three deaths of security elements each.

For several years, the state of Guanajuato has been experiencing unprecedented violence, mainly generated by drug cartels and organized crime cartels, which also engage in kidnapping, extortion and fuel theft.

Although Guanajuato is currently one of the states with the greatest presence of National Guard (GN) elements, violence has intensified due to the dispute between the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) whose leader is Nemesio Oseguera “El Mencho ” and the Santa Rosa de Lima Cartel, led by José Antonio Yépez Ortiz “ El Marro ”.
