This morning around 7 a.m., a 16 year old chicken salesman was shot and killed in Chilpancingo, Guerrero. This killing is likely linked to extortion by violent criminal groups in the area.
The victim has been identified as José Eduardo N. He was driving a red Nissan pickup truck on Vicente Guerrero Boulevard of Colonia López Portillo when he was shot and killed. Photos of the event show his body sitting slumped in the drivers seat, struck and killed by gunfire.
According to Quadratin Guerrero, pistol caliber casings were found at the crime scene. There are no suspects yet.
In July, Milenio reported that the spate of killings of chicken salesmen in Chilpancingo was perpetrated by organized crime groups who extort them. The murders frightened the sellers so much that for days, local market stalls were empty, and people could not purchase chicken.
While the plight of the sellers no longer reaches headlines, criminal groups continue their violent oppression.

Poor kid was probably lucky to make 1,000 pesos per week.
ReplyDelete50USD a week and driving that truck?, update your facts... Life in Mexico is cheap, but not that much... its not Somalia or Haiti....
DeleteNobody gets to drive a junk like that from selling pollos, unless he got a monopoly or owns a Million Dollar Chicken franchise
DeleteThats not a luxury truck either... that model of Nissan is purposed mostly for businesses, but not necessarily a cheap vehicle. However the amount you mentioned is unrealistic even for most employees, and a small food merchant can easily get that type of vehicles in Mexico.
Delete@Detroit yeah, farm laborers might get $150-200 peso Dollars a day $10US
DeleteI won a ranch in Sonora y el diario is 350 a day and 50 for overtime
Delete@3:04 we pay that for four hours of work, very few want to work a second afternoon shift
Delete11:48 its a small Nissan, its not like its a 2500 or a 3500 diesel truck
DeleteDon't tell me it was the Baby killer cartel aka CJNG.
ReplyDeleteThey are extorting anything and everything.
The new wave extorting chicken salesmen.
Why can't they just stick to Drug Sales at retail.
I remember back then they were killing clowns for not paying piso. Sir is a clown and don't know how he gets away from paying piso.
I don't think jaliscos are in chilpancingo.. i believe thats F.M turf..
DeleteNice truck for a chicken salesman. I wonder if he was involved in anything else?
ReplyDeleteI am sure the more chickens he sold the better, and would cover the monthly auto loan payment.
DeleteThat model of truck is minded for business, not fancy at all. And a food business can be profitable enough, although it is possible some type of involvement.
DeleteIs there anything one can do to try to make a living without cartel involvement? Avocado Farmers, Taxi Drivers, Auto Repairmen, Chicken Seller's, all attacked. Dammed if you do, damned if you don't.
ReplyDeleteThe best thing is for law abiding citizens to arm themselves. Practice to become proficient is shooting guns.
DeleteGot to gang up at shoot it out with the criminals of the town.
I so agree with you!
DeleteI heard through the grapevine SIR, once was a chicken salesman.
ReplyDelete12:38 I retired a millionaire... selling live chickens to "connoisseurs" like you was the ideal gig for money making, they never ask for their money back.
DeleteThat chicken sales kid had a truck that stood out. He should have bought a used one with bent bumpers , dents on the doors.
ReplyDeleteVery Guanajuato-like
ReplyDeleteLet me guess CJNG trying to take over the chicken hustle. No mames
ReplyDeleteAnything that quaks
DeleteSi no sabes no abras la mamadora aunque te guste hacerlo. Si mamas
Delete3:24 i rember a post about culiacan where the zapitos wouldnt let you sell beer after 10 pm, they were the only ones allowed to do so, pinches tacuache agüamieleros 🐁
DeleteOnly 16 years old. sad!
ReplyDeleteChicken seller lives matter
ReplyDeleteSir sells chickens from his Mercedes.
ReplyDeleteNope he sells them from his bike, but he put a Mercedes insignia on the front of his bike.
DeleteWill the Truck company sell the truck at a discount, since it has bullet holes
