The violent conflict that has been tormenting northern Mexico —concretely the state of Sinaloa— for the past three months has taken another victim. This time around, the family of one of Mexico's most important drug lords during the 1980's and 1990's are the ones impacted by the death of José Cruz Carrillo Jacobo, son of José Cruz Carrillo Fuentes and alleged nephew of Amado Carrillo Fuentes, commonly known as "El Señor de Los Cielos."
The incident reportedly took place along the Culiacán-Eldorado highway, near the ejido of El Quemadito, a few miles outside of Culiacán. The body of Carrillo Jacobo was found inside a warehouse, with local media saying his body had gunshot wounds along his extremities, head and torso.
