An intense armed conflict in the mountains of Tamazula, Durango, culminated in the apparent clandestine capture of an operative linked to the criminal faction of "JT del Cholo" on the night of May 15. The federal government maintains a constant presence in the El Durazno area, where local criminal cells are fiercely fighting for control of assets and trafficking routes along the border with Sinaloa. Images circulating on social media show the physical subduing of a wounded civilian by armed civilians, highlighting the brutality of the internal war fracturing the Sinaloa Cartel in this region.
