Massacre Leaves 5 Dead Inside Hotel in Guanajuato

"MX" for Borderland Beat

A local media outlet cited in this report stated that the Santa Rosa de Lima Cartel (CSRL) has a "strong presence" in Comonfort, Guanajuato

Five people dead and three injured was the official toll of an attack carried out inside a hotel in Comonfort, Guanajuato, on Friday. The hotel is located on Magisterio Street, a few blocks from the municipal hall in Comonfort's historic center.


Heavily armed men stormed the hotel and headed towards Room #19, where eight people were in. Eyewitnesses said that the gunmen forced the hotel receptionist to lead them to the room where the victims were staying. Four people were killed at the scene, while the fifth one died after he was taken to the nearest hospital. All the wounded were reported in critical condition.


The Guanajuato Attorney General's Office carry out the corresponding investigations at the scene. There has not been an official announcement of this incident by any government entity. The hit men, as is often the case, escaped and have not been arrested. The corpses have not been identified and were taken to the local morgue.


The attack took place at around 4:00 a.m. on Friday. The investigations at the scene lasted nearly all day. .

Background 

At the end of January, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) reported that Guanajuato has the highest homicide rate in the country. For this reason, he dispatched 5,000 elements of the National Guard to the state.


Of the 2,325 murders that were committed during January 2021 throughout Mexico, 250 occurred in Guanajuato, representing 10% of the total. According to the National Search Commission, there are more than 2,500 missing persons in Guanajuato. Most of these disappearances occurred since 2016.


Comonfort is about a 15-minute drive from Celaya, one of the most dangerous cities in Guanajuato. As reported by Borderland Beat, Celaya has increased a rise in homicides since the August 2020 capture of the local Santa Rosa de Lima Cartel (CSRL) leader José Antonio Yepez Ortiz ('El Marro'). The rival Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) also operates in this region.

  5. These types of massacres are very common in gto, you would think the people out there would be more aware or alert when throwing big parties. Atleast have pistols on them to defend themselves. But it’s probably kids who think they are in no danger so they have no fear of this happening , it goes to show that most of these are done to unsuspected civilians.

  8. CJNG has a major presence in Guanajuato but it doesn’t control it completely. It’s going to be another CDS/BLO type of deal. The CJNG is going to be dominant in the state but it will always have to deal with small cells of CSRL. The days of major topones is done, it’s going to be nothing but hit and run tactics on behalf of CSRL.

  9. Things are kicking off again in that part of Guanajuato. Comonfort is a little bitty down and they've had like 40 killings since 2021 started. This past Friday nite on San Miguel Allende ranch roads on the QRO border there was a 1 hour shoot out between 2 groups. Neighbors counted 15 bodies being guarded by the guardia nacional early the next morning. First time I heard of such a big battle around there. The police finally came and 1 of the groups stole a truck from two young kids when they were getting away. The took the kids w/them and then left them dead en Apaseo el Alto. Had a running shootout on the Queretaro hwy with the policia and a patrol truck got shot up and flipped over. Its campaign season and the local mayor wants to keep it a secret.
