The war between the Los Chapitos and La Mayiza factions of the Sinaloa Cartel continues to fuel violence across the state. On May 13, authorities found a decapitated head along the Mazatlán-Tepic highway beside a "narco banner."
According to the message displayed on the banner, both the killing and the threat were directed at a Los Chapitos cell, specifically targeting Misael Guerrero Pérez, also known as "El Güero Pin," an alleged Los Chapitos commander operating in the municipality of Escuinapa in southern Sinaloa.
