Tuesday, July 1, 2025 - Four decapitated bodies were found hanging from a bridge in the capital of western Mexico's Sinaloa state on Monday, June 30.
Authorities said the gory discovery is part of a surge of
cartel violence that k!lled 20 people in less than a day.
A bloody war for control between two factions of the
powerful Sinaloa Cartel has turned the city of Culiacan into an epicenter of
cartel violence since the conflict exploded last year between the two groups:
Los Chapitos and La Mayiza.
De@d bodies appear scattered across Culiacán on a daily
basis, homes are riddled with bullets, businesses shutter and schools regularly
close down during waves of violence. Masked young men on motorcycles watch over
the main avenues of the city.
Los Chapitos, led by the sons of notorious drug lord Joaquín
'El Chapo' Guzmán, have reportedly become so desperate to win the internal
civil war that it has allied with long-time rival Jalisco New Generation
Cartel.
On Monday, Sinaloa state prosecutors said that four bodies
were found dangling from the freeway bridge leading out of the city, their
heads in a nearby plastic bag.
On the same highway, officials said they found 16 more male
victims with gunshot wounds, packed into a white van, one of whom was
decapitated.
Authorities said the bodies were left with a note,
apparently from one of the cartel factions.
