Valparaíso, Zacatecas: Armed Confrontation Between CJNG and CDS Leaves 9 Dead

A confrontation between drug traffickers of the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación and the Sinaloa Cartel, in the municipality of Valparaíso in the state of Zacatecas, allegedly left 9 dead from the criminal group known as the Cabrera Brothers. A video showing the events went viral on social networks.

In the scenes, several gunshot detonations are allegedly heard while a man wearing military-style clothing and a helmet protects himself from the shooting. The subject appears chest to ground for most of the video, and once the gunfire is over he stands up and shows his heavy-caliber weapon to the camera.

The Sinaloa Cartel and the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación maintain a tough battle for control of the state of Zacatecas, which has increased violence in the area and killed dozens of people in recent weeks.

Just recently on January 25, drug traffickers from the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación distanced themselves from the wave of violence in the state of Zacatecas and blamed the Sinaloa Cartel and Martín de la Zapata, aka Azteca 18 or H-18, for allegedly having protection from General Salvador Cienfuegos, former Secretary of National Defense (Sedena) accused in the United States of ties to drug trafficking but whose crimes were not proven in Mexico.
