More than 1,000 businesses, including local stores, small businesses and street vendors, have closed in the Mexican state of Sinaloa since "Chapitos" and "Mayos" went to war against each other for control of the Sinaloa cartel.
According to Sinaloa secretary of economic affairs Ricardo Velarde Cárdenas's statement on Jan. 17, there were 43,600 businesses reported to be open across the state before Sept. 9 of last year, but that number has decreased to 41,500.
