"MX" for Borderland Beat
Note: First attack left 13 dead in Coatepec Harinas. Second attack left 4 dead in Alquisiras. Investigators say both incidents are related.

| The updated death toll surpasses the cartel-police ambushes from October 2019 in Aguililla, Michoacan (14) and April 2015 in San Sebastián del Oeste (15). This may be the deadliest attack against law enforcement in Mexico's drug war. |
Gunmen from La Familia Michoacana (LFM) ambushed and killed 17 law enforcement members in the State of Mexico: eight state officers and five prosecution investigators in Coatepec Harinas, and four more state officers in Almoloya de Alquisiras.
Authorities say that the officers killed in the first location were carrying out patrols when they were ambushed by cartel members. The last four officers were killed while they were heading to the first location to help their fallen comrades.
Images shared below show the bullet-ridden police vehicles and bodies lying by the side of the road. Rodrigo Martínez-Celis, state security minister, called the attack an "an affront to the Mexican state".
"We will respond with all force and support of the law," he told reporters.
The National Guard and the Mexican Armed Forces are searching by land and air for the perpetrators.
The Attorney General's Office in the State of Mexico confirmed that the ambush was carried out by LFM as revenge for a law enforcement operative carried out near the area on March 16.
On that day, security forces working in Zacualpan municipality seized three vehicles and a notebook owned by LFM. That notebook contained confidential information about LFM's hiding, spying, and drug sale locations.
LFM, a criminal group born in the state of Michoacan, splintered in 2011 after the arrest of its last main leader Jose de Jesus Mendez Vargas ('El Chango'). However, it continued to operate in smaller cells that carried out drug trafficking, kidnappings, and extortions in parts of Michoacan, Guerrero, and the State of Mexico.
The State of Mexico was the second most-deadly state in all of Mexico for police officers last year. It registered 39 police murders, only behind Guanajuato with 84. These states are followed by Veracruz (39), Guerrero (37) and Chihuahua (35).

LFM stayed active in Mexico State
ReplyDeleteYeah it’s the people of Medardo “Lalo Mantecas/100” Hernández Vera. He used to be under Armando “Player” Hernandez Hernandez. Both of which were old-time FM bosses going back to the early 2000s. Armando “Player” Hernandez Hernandez was later arrested and sentenced to 190 years for a litany of crimes including the murder of the presidente municipal de Zacualpan in 2015. “Lalo Mantecas” has been in a brutal war with CJNG over Edomex for a few years. His nephew was dismembered alive and “Lalo Mantecas” responded by leaving a truck with 15 dead from a CJNG rancho in it—both reported on by BB.
Delete5:54 PM That wasn't Lalo Manteca's or his people that did that. Omar García Harfuch sent in his personal hit sqaud of SEMAR to do that work. That was the main reason CJNG tried to kill him and they are going to kill him it might take Mencho 10 years but he is going to die. The Familia Michoacana de Guerrero begged Mencho for a cease fire once they realized CJNG had already surrounded them from the North and the South. CJNG wasn't on the offensive in Guerrero and Huetamo they were playing defense. Things were starting to turn and they were slowly going on the offensive and the FM de Guerrero didn't like that one bit. So they begged for a cease fire. I don't know what CJNG got out of it but they accepted the cease fire with the FM de Guerrero but not Lalo Mantecas.
Delete5:54 your info is legit hit nail one the head you know exactly what your already talking about and the 7:24 your goofy stops being a cheerleader and get facts straight Fm never begged your crazy if any ir was other way around Cjng lost in Tierra caliente every one and their momma knows that that’s why they call for a truce cause they were looking very weak in that war front
Delete6:15 PM CJNG didn't lose Huetamo, Turicato, Tacambaro, Nocupetaro, Caracuaro, Churumuco, Arteaga Michoacan, Zirandaro, Coahayutla, Zihuatanejo eastern part borders Zirandaro and Petatlan, Petatlan, Coyuca de Catalan between Zirandaro and Zihatanejo Petatlan, Then they have most of the municipalities that border Morelos from Guerrero. The Familia Michocana de Guerrero was fighting CJNG in Carcauro, Huetamo, Zirandaro they only made it near Zirandaro and close to Huetamo from San Lucas because the Sedena was pushing and then they would follow behind them. You are speaking out of your ass. The people that were found in the Pick up truck and the people that were killed in the racho on the outskirts of Huetamo was done by Omar Garcia Harfuch personal Semar hitman squad.
DeleteYou hot blooded Mexicans are crazy as fuck if criminals in the uk killed 17 police the government would send the fuking SAS after them it’s just another day for you
ReplyDeleteATTE SCOTTISH ZETA
Don't worry, they will send them.
DeleteNo they wont send anybody, the dead officers were likely getting paid off by one of the 2 major DTO's operating in the area. Obviously the level of corruption extends all the way to the top, a few dead cops might not be news for more than a few weeks. When the Lebarons were ambushed in Sonora the incident was international news for months, a lot longer than the Aguililla ambush. What does that tell you..
DeleteWhen your country is lawless you do what ever you what
Delete“ATTE SCOTTISH ZETA” is how you know someone needs a life. Spent a lot of time in the UK then? Nah didn’t think so.
DeleteUK government is happy, their mexican police graduates keep killing city cops.
DeleteThe officers on the ground seem to have been rounded and mass murdered on the spot, must have known or seen a little bit too much...just wait and see, this will be one more crime of state.
But about 30 Policia Federales murdered by ismael felix rodriguez mendigutia's contra-nicaragüense in Sanchez Taboada, VERACRUZ have never been avenged...
Some sad cases on here,scott z your in the US you weirdo,you never been the UK in yo life you bubble head,how old are you?You are strange
DeleteThe police work for the cartels.
DeleteI need to dig some more, but this may be the deadliest ambush against law enforcement, assuming authorities want to count this as 17. It already surpasses the October 2019 ambush in Aguililla (14) and the April 2015 ambush in San Sebastián del Oeste (15).
ReplyDeleteIf anyone has more info please let us know here.
I have some more info. The War on Drugs is not working.
DeleteIt’s obvious these thugs need hugs! Lopez Obrador
ReplyDelete10:39 Estado de Mexico Governor is a cousin of EPN, alfredo del mazo, expert in family business of stealing from the government, and in charge of public security on his state, he will not love the federales of AMLO coming to meddle in his states' affairs, like how come he has so much murdering of his state cuicos after getting so much money for state public security???
Delete--A AMLO se la pelan tu y más de cuatro gilbertonas chayoteras.
Mexico is a narco state ! This is direct war against the government .
ReplyDeleteMexico is Narco/failed state cause most goverent from bottom to top level are in it. No criminal organazations will survive without the hel of its government.
DeleteNo it's not more like organized crime state
DeleteTheres no country in the world who have soo manny gangland killings
DeleteWho’s top dog for LFM?
ReplyDeleteFM doesn’t have a centralized structure anymore after over 10 years of war from the government and rivals. Old-school FM bosses that were active back in the days of Tisico, Chango, and Chayo now lead independent organizations operating under the FM name. Lalo Mantecas has Edomex, Pez and Fresa have Guerrero, and Tena operates in southwest Michoacán.
DeleteThere is more than 1 "Fresa" operating in the Tierra caliente region. Of the more important scumbags there is one in Guerrero and another who is plaza boss in Morelia.
DeleteLa familia michoacana never had one leader since el tisico the guy who was the boss of the organization from whhich la familia michoacana formed got lucked up.
DeleteDid Carlos Rosales ever have kids ? Or family is in the dope game?
ReplyDeleteTanto pedo por una libreta y 3 carritos?
ReplyDeleteThis was bad for business if you ask me. The government will come strong against them.
Unless it was some other cartel heating a rival turf.
Could it be because of the execution of el pez
ReplyDeleteWtf El pez as executed?!?
Deletehttps://croniosv.com/internacionales/fuertes-imagenes-queman-vivo-a-jefe-de-cartel-mexicano/
DeleteThis is lie the video they show if another person getting burned by terrorist of Cjng like over a year ago
DeleteAnd even after seeing something like this AMLO will not send a full force to get those criminals.
ReplyDeleteEven after this AMLO still wants ABRAZOS Y NO BALAZOS.
DeleteHe has no balls
3:20 AMLO is the President, chief executive officer, Commander in Chief, for the next 4 years, but he is not in charge of the State "Estado de Mexico" public security or chief of police, while you in charge of your mouth could use some soap.
DeleteAudio of the attack is up. Special thanks to 'El Zacatecas' for sending it to us.
ReplyDeleteGreat job MX, as usual.
ReplyDeleteIt was on the BBC first thing this morning.
Strategic failure. I would have directed every law enforcement agency in the surrounding 100 miles to set up checkpoints, and the military to begin sweeping the area, no one in or out. I would have launched a dozen helicopters to patrol the area day and night. Infuriating, I know plenty of good cops in Mexico, the issue isn't corruption sometimes the issue is strategic failure. Insane.
ReplyDeleteFibra
You have common sense.
DeleteMexican leaders lack justice, balls, and common sense.
5:38 Si "don porfirito",
Deletecómo no...
Let's Make México Great Again.
Everyone knows the one terrorist group who carried out this attack was Cjng they did this in michoacan a year ago in aguillia and with same tactics
ReplyDelete5:58 PM Viagra everyone knows that area is controlled by the Familia Michoacana.
DeleteWhat happened in El Aguaje Aguillila was planned and created by the Viagras send crash dummies to die so the government would help them take El Aguaje.
The Viagras sent the State Police to their death. They had them going house to house robbing and bothering the families, friends and neighbors of CJNG members. In the Pena Colorada, El Limoncito. You can see those same police officers on google maps protecting the Sierra Santanas in Pinzandaro.
What is the opinion of AMLO on this!?! There is full out war going on and he just dismissed it like if nothing is happening.
ReplyDeletea AMLO Le vale madre los pleitos entre chilangos .
DeleteAMLO too busy giving hugs and kisses to cartel leaders. Hugs and kisses are the Universal answer for all problems.
