| Authorities investigate a crime scene in Ciudad Juarez; the state-attorney general says the violence is driven by gangs competing over street corners to sell heroin, cocaine, and meth. |
Another violent weekend took place in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua. 14 people were murdered in different parts of the city. This brought the total monthly homicide rate to 51 in the first 11 days of April, an upward trend compared to the previous three months.
Of all the April victims, 47 are men and four are women. In 31 cases, a firearm was used; 17 more died from violent physical blows or from bladed weapons. Last Friday there were five murders, followed by six on Saturday.
An internal war between two leaders of the criminal group "Los Mexicles" is the main cause of the executions that occurred in recent days, according to a crime report conducted by the State Prosecutor's Office in the Northern Zone of Chihuahua.
Prosecutor Jorge Nava López pointed out that the increase in homicides is due to a division among the members of the gang, who are fighting among themselves for control of the drug sale spots in Ciudad Juarez.
Borderland Beat analysis
 |
| Los Mexicles are based in southern Ciudad Juarez. However, most of the homicides in April were committed in the northwestern sector (near Anapra sector), where La Empresa and Los Aztecas are based. |
As previously reported by Borderland Beat, most of the homicides in Ciudad Juarez are also driven by gangs competing over street corners to sell heroin, cocaine, and meth.
Several drug dealers of Los Mexicles have been executed by another Mexicles faction in different neighborhoods. However, investigators say that one of the Mexicles faction is working with another group. Most of the homicides are concentrated in three areas of the city in the northwestern zone.
Anapra is the area of Ciudad Juárez where the most homicides were committed in the month of April. This part of the city borders Sunland Park, New Mexico, which is part of the Juarez–El Paso, Texas, border area.

How many addicts in Mexico ?
ReplyDeletemust be huge to fight over every freaking street corner
whats that grey area Sewer plant ?
Fuckin Juarez has always been a place where cheap ass drugs are consumed.
DeleteYears ago marijuana. Now meth is cheaper.
As long as people consume there will be supply. Unfortunately too many idiots want to supply and this leads to the chaos over there.
The grey is the airport
DeleteAnapra is among the poorest regions in Juarez. Sad. I’m not surprised this is going on. Crazy how just a rock’s throw away you go into a completely different world where it’s safe to walk with you children and enjoy your time at a park, where it’s clean and there’s running water. I’m from east Ciudad Juárez, was fortunate enough to be able to buy a house in El Paso in 2005. I go back to Ciudad Juárez a few times a week till this day.
ReplyDelete- El Choclo
Mariano Escobedo cerro de la bibla💪🏻
DeleteNo problem 👍 let them kill each other.
ReplyDeleteEverything in Cd Juarez right now is getting harder and harder to follow and understand. Reminds me of CDG from a few years ago, which became a puzzle if you weren’t up to speed every week.
ReplyDeleteCdg and tamaulipas stil a puzzle til this day.
DeleteSome Mexicles in Juarez are not part of the Empresa crap La Linea formed. These may be working directly with Jalisco cartel to obtain drugs or as a long shot Sinaloa while Empresa Mexicles obtain drugs from Juarez cartel. Some Mexicles might still be fighting AA gang also which is part of Empresa along with some Aztecas.
ReplyDeleteBarrio Azteca which authorities want to call Old School fight off anyone in their turf specially Empresas. Juarez cartel can't keep total control over anyone in the Empresa much less those not from it.
Either way this all out war is not ending anytime soon as long as idiots run the Juarez cartel for so long as one cartel stays in charge killings subside.
You're right, these "alliances" do not seem to be completely true in Ciudad Juarez anymore. It is a free-for-all game.
Delete8:27 who is the leaders of Juarez cartel?
DeleteIn Juarez Its clearly who fights who,but what about Tijuana.. who's the top players there?
Delete9:26 - Jesus Salas Aguayo AKA El Chuyin, as the overall figurehead if we can call him that.
DeleteThey all might as well switch to Cjng since Mencho is sending Linea resources
Delete6 dead in parral chihuahua
ReplyDeletehttp://www.borderlandbeat.com/2021/04/chihuahua-6-sinaloa-cartel-members.html
DeleteThank you. We had it in draft 4 hours after it was first reported. I waited a bit until more was known so we could produce a quality report. A lot more news came in this morning on which groups were involved.
Isn't La Linea the Juarez Cartel now?
ReplyDeleteYes, the old Juarez Cartel no longer exists. La Linea is the main criminal network now.
DeleteCecillia Carrillo la C1 head of NCDJ
Deletewas that beheading video the same as the 6 reported dead they said only 2 beheaded among 6
Deleteand the landscape (rock) kinda look like the video !
IDK
but maybe ??
@Billy Jean La C1 operates in the city of Chihuahua and her competition was Don Men back in 2018 before he was killed by lineas. If I'm wrong then it's another Carrillo Fuentes women that operates in that city I just can't remember her name. There's also rumors that El Chuyin is trying to make a exit out the game so if that was the case then the hightest Ncdj Member would be El H2
