"HEARST" and "Sol Prendido" for Borderland Beat
In a new narco video, hitmen working for the Sinaloa Cartel’s Arzate brothers threaten their Tijuana enemies, chief among them is CAF’s El Flaquito and his hitmen, according to a recent Zeta Tijuana article.
The Narco Video
On July 22, 2023, Twitter users like Mmocrt shared a new narco video from the state of Baja California. The video featured hitmen making generic threats against their enemies.
The voice heard in the video does not match the footage and the background setting doesn't appear to match either Tijuana or Tecate.
The man speaking in the video says the following, as translated by Sol Prendido:
Look here you fucking thief. Innocent family members will be respected you filthy rat. We’re going to fucking kill you.
El Cabez贸n is in charge here in Tecate and Tijuana. All of the ministerial policemen in your pocket will be killed off.
You’re nothing more than a snitch for the police you cheap pig.
Long live the cities of Tecate and Tijuana.
There is really only one name mentioned in the video - “El Cabez贸n”- but its enough to make it clear who the men work for.
“El Cabez贸n” is the main alias of Jes煤s Rafael Yocupicio, a cartel figure who operates in the border city of Tijuana.
El Cabez贸n works for the Sinaloa Cartel - Mayo faction, under their main Tijuana leaders: Alfonso Arzate, alias "El Aquiles" and his brother Ren茅 Arzate, alias "La Rana".
As covered in this previous story, Zeta reports that the Arzate brothers recently had a meeting with Mayo Zambada himself, which led to Mayo officially approving their plans to take over the state of Baja California and consolidate his various forces in the state under their leadership.
Mayo, however, insisted that Los Rusos - a group who are more directly tied to him, based in the Baja California city of Mexicali - would ally with the Arzates and retain equal power as the Arzates brothers. A condition the brothers reportedly agreed to.
Who is Who
A recent Zeta Tijuana article, published on July 17, 2023, named a number of the cartel figures that the state’s Security Roundtable has identified as working under the Arzate brothers.
These include:
Franklin Ernesto Huezo Hern谩ndez, alias “El Ranchero”
Edwin Antonio Rubio L贸pez, alias “El Max”
Jes煤s Rafael Yocupicio, alias “El Cabez贸n”
Jos茅 脕ngel Flores Ayala, alias “El Mostro”
Fabricio Hern谩ndez, alias “El Lic”
Marcial Medina L贸pez
Fabi谩n Espinoza, alias “El G眉ero Puchas”
El 300
El 03
El 013
Some of these names we've seen before. Ranchero is alleged to be the figure who organizes the hits ordered by the Arzates brothers. His criminal history is covered in this previous story.
El Max and El Cabezon have both been featured in previous stories, as well.
El Mostro and El Lic are new names which have never been mentioned in a Zeta story before. This is true for El G眉ero Puchas and the others listed with just an alias.
Marcial Medina L贸pez, however, is a name which has not previously been seen connected to los Arzates.
Marcial's first brush with the law came in 2006, when US border patrol caught him trying to smuggle in 130 kilograms of weed through Tecate's Mexico-US border crossing. There are no details on if charges were brought against him.
Marcial seemingly switched from drug smuggling to human smuggling and in December 2017, eight men who reported under him were arrested. The men had been holding 4 migrants captive at a safehouse in the Real de la Frontera subdivision of Tijuana.
The migrants, which included a woman and child, had paid the men to smuggle them across the US border, handing over the exact payment requested.
But instead of ferrying them across the border, they kidnapped them and held them for ransom, calling up their relatives and demanding that they send them money.
Police raided the safe house, arrested the 8 captors, and freed the kidnapped migrants.
The woman who was held captive told police that one of the captors had sexually assaulted her and police subsequently charged the man with sexual assault.
The 8 detainees were interrogated and they revealed that they worked under Marcial Medina L贸pez.
On January 8, 2018, police located and arrested Marcial. The one and only known photo of Marcial comes from this arrest. It is, again, unclear if he was ever charged.
According to the state’s Security Roundtable, the Arzates are primarily focused on taking on the CAF-Chapitos alliance, and secondarily focused on the CJNG.
It's worth noting that the original tweet accompanying the narco video said that the men were directing their threats to the CAF.
The CAF-Chapitos alliance is primarily led by Pablo Edwin Huerta Nu帽o, alias "El Flaquito".
The Zeta article writes that the Security Roundtable have identified the following men as cartel figures under Flaquito:
David Jim茅nez, alias "Cabo 20" (in prison)
James Brayan Corona, alias "El Apache"
Felipe Solis Lopez
Carlos Corona Garcia
Juan Arriaga Macias
Carlos Ornelas Mejia
Daniel Posada
Efrain Alfaro
Al谩n Hern谩ndez, alias "El G眉ero Laguna"
Unfortunately, there are no details about most of these men, with the exception of El Apache and Cabo 20, whose criminal history was covered in this previous story.

@3:55pm
DeleteHe's absolutely right with that one. Chapo drugged and sexually assaulted underage girls.
And if you want to bring that up in the comments of every Chapitos post, I support it. It's not acknowledged as much as it should be.
5:10 those CDS capos where not afraid about claiming their pedophile ways, Mayo had a song i think by Tucanes where it mentioned that he liked them young and virgins, (15) i think, im sure a lot of those girls parents were not given a chooise, it was give them up or die, they were on another level of chomoness
Delete510 dang all that money Chapo supposedly had and still had to drug girls to get some is an embarrassment and lower to anyone associated with him Chapo is worst than a snitch he a pedophile rapist

DeleteTo the crybabies... HEARST presented a comment that was wierd.馃 And stated for entertainment purpose only.
DeleteGet a gripe you were informed.
@3.48. I think they would say that to Chapo, face to face, if they had the chance. Because now Chapo is the one in a basement, without the police or army to do his dirty work for him. More like a dungeon really.
DeleteIt started getting interesting at "japs and germs", but the "duck sucking" got me hooked..

So the guy hit at Plaza Rio, the former commander, was linked to Flaquito's team
ReplyDeleteand the Hong Kong owner attack is linked to CAF team/affiliates
and used GPS trackers on the commander, really common in TJ, but could be internal, or if this is Aquiles making his play for the plaza
Any other info on the plaza rio hit , with the GPS?
DeleteMayo crew taking over chapitos little brats living on borrowed to e
ReplyDelete@12:56Hop off mayo’s nuts haha
DeleteThey've been trying to kidnap the owner of the Hong Kong for years..
ReplyDeleteThey own other bars, parking lots, and commercial properties, lotsa money up for grabs..
I heard a story several years ago that the owner and his bodyguards' vehicle was being pursued by potential secuestreros, they called the state police for help, los estatales were vaguely sympathetic, said they should burn rubber and try to make a bee-line for their headquarters..
Sure enough, when they turned off on the exit or road leading to the police parking lot, their tail peeled off, and retreated, seemingly, to regroup for another day..
If you're simply the owner of a humble hardware store or paleteria in Tijuana, you'd best have some kinda tracking chip inserted in you, for that fateful day when the bad guys come for you..
馃
No such thing as real time tracking chips for humans, maybe if you're always carrying a backpack with a radio size transmitter and dozens of extras batteries.
Deletepchycho much
Deletekeyster a cell enabled iwatch while getting chased for the kidnap
DeleteIt's a voice. Plus that's not in Tijuana nor tecate
ReplyDeleteYes. The voice is clearly not from this video.
DeleteAnd I made the same comment about how that doesn't look like Tijuana or Tecate.
I'll add a sentence to clarify this in the story.
@HEARST. I think we are going to start seeing more of these blatantly dubbed videos. Voiceovers from all sorts of people with multiple agendas using footage of men with guns who they say represent them. I'm surprised it hasn't been highlighted before tbh. The problem could be that nobody will take the video seriously as a deterrent, so the actual physical violence- things that nobody can dispute, like a dozen headless bodies- will get worse. It used to happen when Zetas or LFM forced media to not show mantas, so bodies turned up instead- 6 headless bodies can't be ignored or disputed.
DeleteMexico,these cartels seem to be growing bigger with better capabilities.The AMLO peace initiative is surely dooming mexico to more pain when a new president decides to confront these capabilities.Very complicated issue we know,but surely cartels need eradicating?
ReplyDeleteFlaco is an informant for the DEA all the remainder CAF scumbags are working for DEA. There days are counted Arriba La Mayiza
ReplyDelete@2:20 why you say that?
DeleteCaf is not known for snitching. Unlike el chapo. Or the narco message style of snitching las menchas use.
DeleteYes known for snitching they even say in there corridos they have the government in lock In USA. Little do they know that they are just using them eventually they end up dead or in prison for Rats. Mayo is a shot caller sends narcotics all over the world. Caf just sends couple of stolen bricks and pounds to LA and San Diego

ReplyDeleteDracos are for pussies like you who thinks it "cool". This aint a fake ass YouTube video this is real life homboy! Keep
DeleteYour eyes peeled 24/7 you never know
I agree with 8:43. Draco’s are for pussies. For starters they’re hella inaccurate useless beyond 100 meters. The voices in the video do not match the body language. It’s just a bunch of volteados turncoats del Teo who finally got together to fight el Flakito de Tijuana. A crew chief IN the Tijuana Cartel not OF. He’s made their life’s a living hell this last decade in Tijuana 馃槀. I give it 3 months before they turn on each other AGAIN!
DeleteChinese SKS over Draco watching too much rap video 843
DeleteComments are getting worse
ReplyDeleteI thought they were Chapitos after the killing of Trebol?
ReplyDeleteI'm confused. What is behind these comments saying "but they were working together months ago"? Who was?
DeleteFor years now, Chapitos and a certain part of CAF have had a working alliance in Tijuana.
And the CAF/Chapitos alliance fights against Mayo-Arzates.
Right after Trebol was killed, Zeta Tijuana reported that the hit was an Arzate attack which aimed to kill Flaquito and CAF people.
Nobody switched sides after Trebol was killed.
https://zetatijuana.com/2023/05/masacre-se-unieron-arzate-y-rusos/
HEARST why do you allowed people to RANT! On and on with comments clearly not related to the topic above. Person clearly didn’t take he’s meds and is in the wrong blog. FLACOS GROUP has a working alliance with chapitos not the entire Tijuana organization. Other members of the Tijuana organization have a working relationship with el Mayo’s faction. The Arzate brothers will never challenge CAF/CDT as an organization public or in mantas they know better. The Arzates and Kietos group have gone at it since 2010. The Arzates as an organization were kicked out of Tijuana by Kietos group led by el Flaquito, it’s been personal ever since. Flaco leads an arm wing inside the organization whose main job is to make sure everyone is paying their fee every first of the month. ‘Hint’ they are the main visible group doing all the noise on behalf of Tijuana. These “rivals” pay a percentage for a certain amount of weight to cross through monthly, but try to be sneaky and cross more than originally paid for and when the plaza owners find out kick down their door and take their weight, they surprisingly turn around make public videos like so, go on fb and call it stealing jajajaja. Amateurs en ‘Tijuana asta el diablo paga plaza’ that’s been the law since the 80s
Delete8:10 talking about rantting 馃檮
DeleteBut in 2019, they returned to Tijuana to dispute the plaza with El Mayo's faction. According to reports, they stay in luxury resorts and sporadically visit Ensenada. The territory they consider to be the safest.
DeleteThe Arzates have sought to form alliances with Los Chapitos to keep Tijuana, Ensenada, and Tecate under their command. U.S. and Mexican authorities indicated that within the Sinaloa Cartel, Los Arzate are reportedly making contact with Los Chapitos' buyers and suppliers. Specifically with Ivan Archivaldo Guzman Salazar. In addition, they have also turned to their old acquaintance Pablo Edwin Huerta Nu帽o aka El Flaquito, an operator of the Arellano Felix family.
Someone with whom they already made agreements in the past and who now betrayed El Tr茅bol.
https://www.borderlandbeat.com/2023/05/ensenada-baja-california-arzate.html
Even your source says they aren't allied with El Mayo
DeleteEfectivamente, la hip贸tesis m谩s s贸lida en la Mesa de Coordinaci贸n es que el ataque fue organizado por dos fracciones de operadores criminales de Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada Garc铆a. Se refieren a la alianza entre los hermanos Arzate, quienes se habr铆an unido con Alexander S谩nchez, alias 脕ngel Gaxiola y/o Juan P. F茅lix y su grupo identificado como “Los Rusos”, a pesar que los hermanos no gozan del cobijo criminal de “El Mayo”
@7.58. Ha ha, that was funny. ''Why do you let people ramble on and on? As for my comment, I humbly submit the following-

Kieto is dead flaco runs the deal and ripa and abogado are working with flaco as well. They probably snitched on kieto to stay out of prison.
ReplyDeleteJust so everyone here knows, anyone who has a federal court hearing that is not open to the public ,(especially sentencing) is guaranteed to have cooperated with the Government.If you don't believe me,just try to get any court records from any federal drug case with those specifications.
