The ongoing cartel turf war between the Mayiza and the Chapitos continues tormenting Sinaloa with deadly attacks happening sporadically across the state, particularly in the city of Culiacan and its surrounding areas. From war tanks, to drone bombs, cartel members are using technology to get a leg up in the conflict, and most recently, a confrontation uncovered their latest tool: anti-drone shields.
In the morning of December 26, residents of Costa Rica, a city 30 minutes south of Culiacán, witnessed yet another confrontation between the rival criminal groups, per a report from Infobae. Around four in the morning, residents woke up to gunshots, which authorities later confirmed, claimed the life of a man whose body was found outside a local bank.
