Last September, a war broke out between two factions of the Sinaloa Cartel.
The intra-cartel war pits one faction, La Mayiza, led by the son of “El Mayo” Zambada, against the Chapitos, sons of “El Chapo” Guzman.
According to the Noroeste newspaper, the murder toll in Sinaloa from September 9th, 2024, to June 2nd, 2025, was 1,401, which would average out to 5.3 daily.
