The State of Mexico was recently involved in violence due to the confrontation between ministerial agents and members of the Familia Michoacana in Texcaltitlán . Members of the National Guard, elements of the Mexican Army, as well as the Secretary of the Navy (Semar), also participated, ending with 11 dead, 10 detained, and 3 wounded police officers.

At the end of the fight, they were also able to secure 20 AR-15 type long weapons, handguns, cartridges, five vehicles, as well as tactical equipment such as bulletproof vests, military-type uniforms, and communication equipment.

However, shortly after, a peculiar finding emerged a spider monkey. 

The animal was on top of one of the downed attackers. It is unknown if he was killed in the gunfight or at another point, but was distinguished by the fact that the monkey wore a hitman's clothing: a tactical vest with imitation bulletproof panels and a small jacket in military colors.

It quickly caught people's attention. And the impression was such that some, between jokes and a certain seriousness, many requested and predicted the composition of a corrido for the small animal fallen in the shooting. And this one arrived.

Ya le compusieron un corrido al mono araña que falleció junto con su dueño en un enfrentamiento entre una célula de la Familia Michoacána y gobierno esto en el Estado de México. @Jalisciense1cc @OfficialBalam @GHOSTDEVIIL @InfSinCensuraMx pic.twitter.com/klODeKnHQk

Since the video was broadcast on social networks in which a composition is heard in which the death of the monkey is narrated and which opens with the verses: "It's a very short life / it was not up to the monkey ."

In the video of about two minutes, in which the song is repeated, the verses in honor of the animal are mixed with images of the monkey in which the alleged owner is accompanied, as well as illustrative images.

The music consists of a voice accompanied by a guitar. It also states that they stole his story "because he came to succeed and shine in so many things" and that he was not brave "but neither was he left." Finally, he adds that he will go to heaven leaving a legacy.

Although it is not known if the song is in a mocking tone or really a composition in honor of the spider monkey.

It is presumed that the exotic animal could have been the pet of one of the members of the Michoacan Family since the peculiar and expensive species are common among members of organized crime in the country.

Reasons for the Confrontation

Initially, the version was spread that the staff of the Attorney General of the State of Mexico carried out an operation in Texcaltitlán to inhibit the activities of organized crime, but in reality, it was an arrest operation.

Since they were looking to capture a member of the Familia Michoacana related to the ambush and killing of 13 Edomex police officers in Coatepec de Harinas, according to the Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC).

On the night of Friday, June 16, the FGJEM announced that the eight detainees were admitted to the Otumba Penitentiary and Social Reintegration Center and the Nezahualcóyotl Penitentiary Center since 5 men and 3 women were detained.
