A man that served as Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán's head of security was arrested in Culiacán by members of the Mexican armed forces along with two other cartel members.

According to authorities, the clash between the Mexican army and members of the criminal group known as "Los Chapitos" took place on November 3 near the city of Costa Rica, which is part of the municipality of Culiacán, Sinaloa's capital. Mexico's Attorney General Office said soldiers encountered two full-size SUV's full of hitmen and engaged in a shootout that led to three arrests.
