"El Armadillo" for Borderland Beat

Gail was killed on March 28 at Hotel Villa Marina restaurant in Ensenada, Baja California. He was shot 15 times while leaving dinner.
Markitos, who boasts 5.3 million Instagram followers and 4.2 million YouTube subscribers, frequently shares content showcasing his family’s luxurious lifestyle. Members of the Castro family were named as targets by La Mayiza in leaflets dropped in January. The messages accused 25 influencers of working with Los Chapitos and included:
• Markitos Toys
• His brother Kevin Castro and Kevin’s wife Ana Gastélum
• His sister Mayve Castro and her husband Paul Baldomero
• Gail Castro
Gail is one of several influencers linked to Los Chapitos who have been killed in recent months, including with Miguel Vivanco, aka "El Jasper" Justin Paul "El Pinky" and Leovardo Aispuro Soto "Gordo Peruci"
These killings echo past cartel violence against musicians.
Markitos' parents' house was also attacked in January, and restaurants allegedly linked to Markitos were set on fire.
There now seems to be a response from Los Chapitos, with least two messages attributed to Alejandro Lopez Guzman being found in Ensenada, stating:
"You got family involved and broke the code. We've located your relatives in Querétaro and Puebla. You're going to lose a lot for your desperation. ATTE: ALG"
Local police found one message on the walls of CBTIS 41, a high school in Ensenada, according to El Mexicano Diario. Police have notified the state prosecutors office to investigate. The same message was also found on a bridge near El Ciprés military garrison according to Hiptex.
Analysis
Many observers are skeptical ALG exists, I personally lean toward him being authentic as he runs the Instagram account @elmasjoven1.0, and after following for a while I can conclude the following:
- He has been active for years
- He appears pretty consistently to be the same person in his posts and stories, despite not showing his full face.
- Other writers in this space such as Mica Trevino and Illicit Investigations have written about ALG
- He is always posting new content that can't be reverse image searched as far as I have tried
- He is followed by other Sinaloans who make up the younger membership of Los Chapitos
- Los Chapitos would not allow someone to use their family's name and launch these kinds of threats if they were not authentic
ALG jaja nadie toma enserio a ese wey ! Ya vieron que la Mayiza si cumple y no nomas habla como este alucin de alg que ni en su rancho lo conocen
ReplyDeleteEse wey solo se quiere sentir que está al nivel de sus primos Iván y Alfredo jajaj. Nada que ver con ese wey lacra.
DeleteEl rubio y el gabacho tiene más peso que ese nada que veriento de ALG.
DeleteEl rubio y gabacho ni existen no son hijos de guano
DeleteRUBIO NYC O QUE
DeleteEse Rubio de Bronx de New York City, mi cai Gordo, le encanta los calsones rojos de mujer.
DeleteMan stop it. Chapito Isidro just a few out of La numerada. They’re on their way out of Sinaloa fasho
ReplyDeleteYa para querer vengar al Gail es porque si les lavaba dinero a los chapos.
ReplyDeleteCual fue la razon para matar a gay castro?
Delete6:49 ser cuńado del Nini y lava dinero.
DeleteLo que se me hace raro es que el apeyido Castro es Cubano, y MZ ea cubano y por ende MFat es Cubano, osea que se eatan matando entre Cubanos 🤔
Delete9:21
DeleteEl apellido Castro is de España y tambien los Mexicanos lo usan.
Mz is not cuban not his sister dated a cuban. The man was puerto rican hence rancho Puerto Rico was named by el mayo in appreciation to the man. And Castro is a spanish name you can find from Mexico to Argentina and back up to the Caribbean. The stupid as shit that some people say on here is ridiculous.
Delete9:21 otra vez tu con tus mamadas Cuba kid .
DeleteMayo is 100% cuban, even Vincentillo said he loves his Cuban roots
Delete6:09 eres tu Yorona? 😭😭😭
DeleteKid-Cubano is in da house and still crying Hard..!
DeleteSo Cuba kid and la llorona are the same kid? Don't tell me he is that little guy that would comment on his post acting like multiple people ?
DeleteVicentillo never said that. He said he loves his Mexican and Sinaloa roots. Stop lying.
DeleteKevin Castro preocúpate por tu vieja , te puso los cuernos y aún andan de mañosos.
ReplyDeleteYou guys comment , like they’re on here reading your comments. Narcissism
DeleteMr. President Trump kiss 💋 my grits.
DeleteSorry no 3rd term.
Aguanta la vrg markitos , como tú dices. Muy vrgs pero cuando les chingan a su familiar ahí si muy inocentes. Bola de lacras.
ReplyDeletePonte a trabajar, tus viejos merecen retiro
DeleteSigo esperando la venganza del gordo perucci jajja. Puro pájaro nalgón los que dicen esos chapos.
ReplyDeleteChapos thinking about going after La Receta , Panter bélico and another group that sings to mayos. Panter does have support from top level guys from mayos and la receta don’t really know.
ReplyDeleteLa receta lead singer Low has ties to MF and the third kid from Grupo Feroz lead singer is rumored to be changito antrax son
DeleteYou guys read comments on YouTube articles and believe anything. Panter js backed by Cjng as well now
DeleteI was surprised they did not mention arley Perez behind the ocran podcast and he is always throwing subliminals.
DeleteO wow CJNG who cares about them this is a sinaloa thing
DeleteReceta Singer has more ties to the Man from Bamoa.
DeleteThe people who run the world have absolutely no clue about these narco bandas nor the "cartels" they glorify.
Delete7:50 Chapos want him dead not cjng . Go to sleep little boy
DeleteAguanta la cara Marcos , que no dijiste eso pues.
ReplyDeleteSe metieron con la familia dicen los vatos que mataron los menores de edad en Durango.
ReplyDeletePor algo les dicen Chapozetas
DeleteNomas ustedes les dicen eso.
Delete@6:51 those Durango kids while kids were in the game and fbi/dea informants
Delete10:50 Yep, those little Durangutans were snitching
DeleteNo te agüites cara de pug , dice tu carnal que tienes que aguantar la vara. Mejor preocúpate de tu morra , Ana. Para que no se meta con otros hombres y le hagan otro chamaco.
ReplyDeletela neta que con la familia no ..pero es la nueva moda mismo los mafiosos en canada..casi terminaron a la familia RIZZUTTO DE MONTREAL
DeleteI doubt chapos are going to do anything, they already have a lot in their plate and revenging a YouTubers life is not worth it.
ReplyDeletethey are not the most rational people. revenge is a valid motive in that world.
Delete@654: Money Laundering YouTubers are plentiful resource in Culiacan, and easily replaceable. I wouldn't be surprised if they killed Him themselves.. They are like American MAGAT's every accusation is a confession.
DeleteIf they didn’t revenge the capture of el guerito and el 200 I doubt they are going to anything about Gail.
ReplyDeleteNow that we're talking about the relative of someone who laundered money for a cartel, I think money may be able to talk here
DeleteMejor que se preocupen del buen estar de la morra de gail, su morra literalmente vio como lo ejecutaron enfrente de ella. Desde aquel día, la morra poco puede hablar como si estuviera traumada o algo parecido.
ReplyDeleteSome degenerate shot 5 people yesterday across the street from Papas n Beer in Ensenada yesterday morning at 2:30am. I believe he killed the guy he intended to and 4 other people were shot in the leg. Damn shame these degenerate losers fuck up everything for the regular folks. Why a 13 year old was out at that time is a different question but he'll now have a bullet wound for street cred.
ReplyDeleteThe 13 year old got up early and was waiting for the library to open
DeleteI was just there this weekend stayed at coral. Didn’t see no heat
ReplyDeleteCuz you ain’t in that life lol.
DeleteCiting Mica and Illicit Investigations as sources is not the way to go. They’re dubious at best, and misinformation at worst.
ReplyDeleteThey're not perfect but no one in the narco coverage game is.
DeleteKiss 💋 my grits.
Delete8.53 have you ever heard about ocran leaks?
Delete9:53 you did not get jajaja
DeleteLos de Sinaloa son puros dedos, arrrreeeee;)
ReplyDeleteOooorale
DeleteThere is rumors in Sinaloa that Chapito Isidro was waiting for the right time . If it was true and he went after Chapitos. It would be over for Ivan
ReplyDeleteChapo Isidro have the fame of never lossing a topón and got a lot of trust and loyalty on the drug game. He's like a battlefield PhD, some kind of warlord. La Sombreriza is already smoking chapos, if Isidro comes to the party is defo the end of line for La Pizza.
DeleteNever losing a Topon...... Sure thing mijo
DeleteNever lost a topon yet lost plazas like Mazatlan to Chapo y Cholo
DeleteChapo and cholo were in jail when mazatlan was taken. It was el Gabito and his brother who kicked los mazatlecos out of mazatlan. That’s exactly why they stayed with that plaza and are fighting los cabreras there and around those surrounding areas
Delete4pm Gabito tiene plaza de El Rosario y su carnal de Concordia. Also, they were not the ones that kicked Mazatlecos out. Gabito barely made it in El Rosario vs Robertin who had no financil backing. All he had was a loyal group of men from la Sierra/Coras. Gabito survived because Gallardo Ex. Police chief supported him. A few years ago Gabito had him killed after he lost Election. Robertin was people from Nacho Coronel/Beltran during the Federation years. Gabito is a joke.
DeleteChapos second last capture was in Mazatlan then his last was in Mochis he will not be in those areas if Isidro men was still there fighting
DeleteHe did not choose mazatlan, he had no other choice.
DeleteThis is what happens when idiots want to be famous on social media. Showing off all their wealth and promoting a cartel. This stupid actions will eventually come back to bit you in the rear. It's always good to be humble and low profile. That is why Nuffy doesn't have any social media accounts. I fight cartels and keep my identity secret. You will never see my Nuff Mobile or my hot wife Buffy on social media. Nuff Said!!!
ReplyDelete@OGNuffy: It sure as Hell wont help them..
DeleteGo to sleep Alejandro Guzman , ya llegaste tarde a la fiesta. Nomas vienes hacer ruido y que te compongan un corrido jajaja.
ReplyDeleteAlg= el JL o el ahijado de Jesus Maria
ReplyDeleteCan we have an updated map of Sinaloa territories and who owns them before the start of war and present? an article that shows events thats been happening in different city’s/towns, Please.
ReplyDeleteIsidro is now on the hunt too.
8:13 what would change in your life if some adobe village is not under chapitos but under mayos now? Like will it have any consequence for your life in Montana? Cheerleaders
Delete@8:13 it definitely matters moron. chapozetas making the price of soda go up here in upstate NY ! cheers mija.
Delete@1:37 if you’re not interested in the shit that goes down In Mexico, why are you here ? Considering these two families have been practically running entire swaths of land in the next country over for over 3 decades, I find it pretty interesting.
DeleteFox News is a couple clicks away pendejo.
Why not doing the research on your own, there is even a search button, no need to spoon feed you lazy boi.
Delete9:45 drop the link to the map of Sinaloa. Use that search button. There has been many shootouts here recently that haven’t made it to the website, but mi espanol es no bueno. Use that search button and translate and send me info. thanks.
DeleteEsos mayos puro mata inocente. Y lo mas curioso que bola de gente cree que son nobles. Se pasan de verga
ReplyDeleteY los chaputos no matan inocentes, pinche indio pendejo. Ojala que siguen los de mas del volante, por andar de perras apoyando a los carteles.
DeleteEllos pueden ser todo menos inocentes. Esos toys tienen la camisa bien puesta de la chapizza. Se creian intocables pero la neta son correlones, llorones e lavadores. Hacen pura mamada levantan bandera y se desata la lloradera en redes sociales cuando algo les pasa. Hasta torturaran personas obligandolas a decir "arriba markitos toys" mientras sufrian. Pero las deudas se quitan, cualquiera que entra en esto lo sabe. Marcos es una lacra correlona que deja su gente entregada a la maña mientras se protege con los de las cuatro letras en Jalisco
Delete10:16 de sonde sacas que lo estan protejiendo en Jalisco? Los de Jalisco no protejen ese tipo de lacras, solo que les este dando informacion de la contra, y si es asi despues que ya no les sirva se lo van a tronar, asi son todos los narcos
DeleteNombre. Puro corriente que se los come con puñetas mentales el mf. Pura gente pendeja que todo cree.
DeleteSe metieron con la familia.. no segas mamon pinche vato pendeja. Todos estas locas se meten con el mas debil.
ReplyDeletepero no fue marcos que dijo "hay que aguantar la vrg"? Entonces que aguante. Cuando era pura gente inocente el vato nimodo
DeleteEl vato es una mierda,
DeleteNarkitos tiene sus manos manchadas con sangre, esta ves les toco y pues ayi duele.. Pero aguente la berga mijo.. Hoy les toco
ReplyDeleteI wonder how long it will be until Los Toys start posting videos on YouTube again. 🤪
ReplyDelete2 years and 2 months.
DeleteNo one gives a fuck about YouTubers, unless you’re a mediocre cartel-following alucin. These kid think might be money, but they don’t have the power nonetheless the balls to toe the line when real cartel members hit ‘em up. If they wanted the girl dead, they would’ve had her… she might have even set him up so she wouldn’t get sacked. Now she’s “not talking” because she’s “traumatized?” GTFOH… it’s all fake.
ReplyDeleteEso pasa mucho en lugares que controlan los de Sinaloa. Nadie mas que ellos pueden mostrar que tienen dinero porke los acusan de estar metidos en pedos. Tal ves eso le paso a el chavo influencer este que mato La Mayiza.
ReplyDeleteSea lo que sea se ve mas como envidia que estos cuates no tienen talento para hacer dinero honesto y mejor eliminan a los que si lo pueden hacer haci.
Sus dos hermanos son traficantes. Este guey lavaba dinero. Eres o te haces nomas?
Delete11:32 y tu sabes lo que dices como?
DeleteWhat happen to borderlandbeat forum I haven’t been on here since 2010
ReplyDelete8:55
DeleteWhy were you incarcerated?
I haven't seen you since 2010.
Borderland Beat is alive and kicking.
Monstrous, mouth 👄 watering articles.
Tricky 😺
Close but no we have more freedom, I joined the Army and I slowly forgot about the page since my life got busy with family, deployment, and life but it’s good to see Borderlandbeat still around.
DeleteGive your family all your attention, soldier, and that's an order!
Delete🇺🇸
9:23
DeleteWelcome back soldier. 🪖
Hope you did not get PTSD.
A gunshot or fireworks. 🎇
Can bring back nightmares of the war.
Anyone talking about the 200 plus trucks that the Chapos reinforced in Choix. Been getting pretty crazy up there lately.
ReplyDeleteThat wasn’t chapos. That was chapito isidro
DeleteAllegedly Los Alegres del Barranco got their visas to the US cancel for showing pictures of Mencho and Chapo in a concert in Guadalajara.
ReplyDelete😎
A ver a cuantos grupos les pasa lo mismo. Muchos bailes de narco corridos aca en la norte.
DeleteThanx zombie covered eyes.
DeleteLmao they only showed mencho. Not chapo 😂
Delete4:03
DeleteThey played their song 701 and show JGL image . There is a video .
😎
4:03 they also showed chapos picture when they sang the 701 song, but in Jalisco they dont care about those kind of little ditails, its only the Sinalocas who go crazy for stupid shit like that
DeleteOnce the US classifies someone or a group as terrorist its over for them. The people blowing up Teslas are Domestic Terrorist now. You know America has a motto / slogan. US has always said "We do not negotiate with terrorist". The palestinians speaking against their aggressor are having their visas revoked, Hamas is condidered a Terrorist organization but in reality its their sanctioned military.
DeleteLet that sink in for all the fentanyl traffickers. Terrorist = No negotiating = Death in Prison
US may say that but the truth is different. Do have and do negotiate with terrorist. No idea low clearance having boot licker on can confirm it but it has been done. Americans (USA) need to wake up and realize that they are being spoon fed shit.
DeleteOff topic,flaquito mayo is working out deal to turn himself in and be in protective custody! U heard here first!
ReplyDeleteWhy would he do a stupid thing like that for? Following Mini Lic's lead I see.
DeleteNo que muy bravo? A mi se me hace que ya se le esta acavando la feria y van a empezar a caer su circulo sercano
DeleteLmao it’s been all over cartel news. You’re a week late & dollar short. You forgot to mention he’s high on drugs paranoid & isolated. He’ll give up by May. No coincidence.
DeleteLmao that rumor was said when chavo felix was caught. It was a rumor started by chapitos to make MF gunmen feel uncomfortable and try and make them flip over to chapitos.
Delete706 I never understood people and ridiculous assumptions. First of all. The family has over 500m in assets. Second, allowing independents to use their Support to move weight. Zambada Sicairos make anywhere from 20-50m per month. Yes, the majority goes to government agencies, wages and ammunition but I am not mentioning what their legal businesses generate or what they profit off investing in “jale”. The 20-50m is % they get from individuals under their Umbrella.
Delete11:41 The heir of el mayo and just 500mio ? Thats stupid.
DeleteALG es el culo de Sic 006, siempre de chupahuevos haciendo lo que diga Ivan.
ReplyDeleteMi apa el Flaco Zambada sigue repartiendo pizzas por todo Zinaloa
ReplyDeleteSere una chica buena power! 💪🏼 in otras palabras puro sinaloa!!
