Authorities in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas carried out an operation that resulted in the death of Baldemar Calderón Carrillo, the alleged leader of the Chiapas-Guatemala Cartel and a logistics and financial coordinator for the Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG).
Calderón Carrillo, also known as "El Tío Balde" or "Don Balde," was believed to be one of the founders of the Chiapas-Guatemala Cartel, a group that emerged as a regional offshoot of CJNG along the Mexico-Guatemala border.
