The escalating turf war between rival factions of the Sinaloa Cartel led to the deaths of dozens of gunmen and innocent bystanders. The turf war also led to dozens of abductions, spreading terror among locals.
Several key cities in the Mexican state of Sinaloa have become ghost towns as locals try to avoid being caught in the crossfire. Despite the raging violence, Mexico’s government continues trying to downplay the severity of the fighting.
Violence broke out again last week when gunmen loyal to the sons of Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, known as Los Chapitos, began clashing with gunmen loyal to the son of Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada. The fighting follows weeks of tension as both sides built up their armies following the arrest of El Mayo on July 25.
After five days of fighting from September 9 to September 13, Sinaloa’s Attorney General’s Office confirmed 20 killings, 28 abductions, and 37 carjackings. As the violence continued over the weekend, those numbers continued to climb. According to a report by El Sol De Mexico, by Sunday, there had been 11 additional murders, including two women who are believed to have been innocent bystanders.

“….including two women who are believed to have been innocent bystanders.”
Sounds like the cartels have been taking shooting lessons from the NYPD Boys in Blue.
