The plaza is “raging

The war between organized crime groups is raging in Morelos.

Last  Thursday, five people - three men and two women - were gunned down in a Temixco neighborhood and hours later a dismembered body was found along with a cartulina with threats.

On Wednesday the 20th, a video was broadcast of men cloaked and armed with assault rifles, in which a subject who identified himself as Kalimán warned that they would "clean up" ((retail) drug sellers and directly threatened "El Señorón".

The cartulina next to the dismembered body was just signed by "El Señorón". A few weeks ago another video was released in which alleged hitmen under the command of this character delivered pantries to neighbors in Temixco.

Violence in this area has flared since last month. On April 14, Gaspar Crispín Cortés, "El Cris," was arrested in the same municipality, the alleged leader of a criminal group that controlled the sale of drugs and other criminal activities in towns in the south of the state.
