Los Mezcales Break Off From The CJNG & Start A War Against Them in Colima

By HEARST 2/10/2022 04:16:00 PM

A sudden spike in violence in the state of Colima is due to a long time CJNG leader breaking off from the larger organization.



The Night of February 8, 2022

At approximately 4:45 am in the early morning hours of February 08, 2022, a home belonging to former congressman Aureliano Hernández Alonso, located in the Senderos del Carmen neighborhood of Colima, was shot up by a group of armed men with both long and short barrel firearms. Below is a video just of the sound of the shots, which was recorded by locals and uploaded to social media. Video contains no graphic content.

Diario de Colima writes that the men then entered the home and continued to fire shots. There were reportedly several people inside the residence at the time and they took shelter inside a room together, calling police. The armed men then exited the house and began shooting two vehicles that were parked in front, one a Ford Lobo pickup truck and another a Toyota sedan.

The men then left the area and by the time officers arrived, the attackers could not be located. Over 150 shell casings were later found around the home.

Then a decapitated man, wrapped in black garbage bags was found near a road near a Walmart in the Villa de Álvarez neighborhood of Colima.
