SEATTLE - Joaquín Guzmán López's name has been at the center of Mexican and international media since the kingpin turned himself and Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada in to U.S. authorities at a private airport in New Mexico back in July.
The move was a watershed moment for the Sinaloa cartel, which then split into two factions, "Los Chapitos," men close to Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán and his sons, and those loyal to Zambada, a group known as "La Mayiza," both fighting for territory and drug smuggling routes in northern Mexico.
