The violent conflict between two Sinaloa cartel factions that has terrorized northern Mexico since September has taken the lives of hundreds of people, including civilians, law enforcement and even internet celebrities.
At least four influencers have been killed in the ongoing turf wars between "Los Chapitos" and "La Mayiza," who keep fighting over control of smuggling routes and territories. On Jan. 9, brochures were dropped from small planes all over the the municipality of Culiacán, Sinaloa, claiming that three of the influencers killed in recent months had links to the "Chapitos."
