In a matter of months, the State of Sinaloa has seen a surge in violence due to turf wars involving "Los Chapitos" and "La Mayiza," the two most prominent cliques of the infamous and eponymous cartel.
The war that started after Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada was captured in July has also led to the kidnapping or disappearance of nearly 700 more people, according to data from Sinaloa's Attorney General's Office.
The war have transformed Sinaloa and CuliacĂĄn from relatively quiet places (ranked 19th among states with more homicides in 2023) into one of the most dangerous.
