Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas: 6 Dead After Armed Attack, CJNG Kills Son of CDS Capo

 "Sol Prendido" for Borderland Beat

At least 6 people killed is the result of an attack against the son of Gilberto Rivera Amarillas, AKA "Tio Gil" (Uncle Gil), operator of the Sinaloa Cartel in Chiapas that would have succeeded power to his offspring after his capture in 2016.

The shooting took place on the Rosario Sabinal Causeway, in the capital of Chiapas, Tuxtla Gutiérrez, where hitmen of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel ambushed at least two vehicles in which Ramón Gilberto Rivera was traveling, accompanied by individuals armed with heavy rifles.

Gilberto Riverera was the son of Tío Gil, originally from Sinaloa and close to Joaquín Guzmán Loera, "El Chapo," who had him in charge of the activities of the Sinaloa Cartel in Chiapas.

Until his capture in 2016, in Guatemala, Tio Gil had control of Comitán, Tuxtla, Ocosingo and Palenque.

Precisely in this last municipality, where President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has his ranch, a couple of days ago the Jalisco Cartel announced a "purge."

Rivera Amarillas's son was badly injured, but died shortly after in a hospital. His wife, Ximena Ochoa, is a well-known participant in beauty contests.

At the site of the attack, five bodies remained and the capture of three suspects occurred.

Narco message reads as follows:

With all due respect to the citizenry of Tuxtla Gutiérrez. We would like everyone to know that our problem isn’t with anyone here. We’ve come to provide support for you, the businessmen , and all the humble people here. 

From all the thieves, kidnappers, and extortionists like the Colombians. As well as many others whose names we already have on a list. They like to swindle the citizens with money on a daily basis. 

The same goes for the abusive and thieving authorities, the Municipal and State Police. They like to extort the immigrants who pass through here. We’ve come to begin the purge many of you were asking for against this trash that has caused so much damage. 

We will defend the town of Palenque including the state of Chiapas. Along with other states as we’ve always done. This matter will be resolved even if we have to spill our own blood doing so. We respect all innocent civilians. Sincerely, CJNG
