Mexican authorities have confirmed the killing of a high-ranking cartel member, known by his alias “El Cachorro,” or “The Puppy.” The individual was identified as Brian and held the title of “town boss” for the Chiapas and Guatemala Cartel.
According to Omar García Harfuch, Mexico’s Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection, the events unfolded on Tuesday in the state of Chiapas. Harfuch revealed that local authorities came under gunfire attack, resulting in injuries to three members of the state police.
In a separate development, two attackers were reportedly killed during the exchange, including Brian “El Cachorro.” The government has characterized him as a key figure within the cartel, highlighting his significant influence over the region.
The operation was carried out by Mexican authorities, marking a significant blow to the Chiapas and Guatemala Cartel’s operations. The incident serves as a reminder of the ongoing efforts to dismantle organized crime groups in Mexico.
President Claudia Sheinbaum’s administration has been working closely with security forces to address cartel activity and maintain public safety across the country. The killing of “El Cachorro” is seen as a major success in this effort, dealing a significant blow to the Chiapas and Guatemala Cartel’s leadership structure.
As investigations continue into the incident, authorities remain vigilant in their pursuit of organized crime groups, working tirelessly to bring those responsible for violence and instability in Mexico to justice.
