CJNG Leaves Two Beheaded Bodies In Zacatecas City

“HEARST” for Borderland Beat

The beheaded and dismembered body of a man and woman were left alongside a narcomanta signed by the CJNG in Zacatecas City, Zacatecas on May 21, 2021.

At around 12:30 am several different citizens alerted the emergency services line of suspicious looking packages that were placed near a creek, at the entrance to the CTM neighborhood in Zacatecas city.

Public Security officers arrived at the scene located near the Tránsito Pesado highway and local store La Viña CTM. They discovered the reported suspicious packages containing the remains of two people. They cordoned off the area and both investigators and experts from the Zacatecan Institute of Forensic Sciences were called to the scene.   When the forensic experts and investigators arrived, they found the bodies of one male and one female had been dismembered and placed inside various plastic bags.

The two heads however were placed prominently on the ground in front of the bags. Slung over the bags was a white fabric banner with a threatening message. The banner was held in place by bricks presumably to prevent the wind from blowing it away.

The banner cannot be read in full but some of the message reads “Chapulines” which refers to rival drug dealers.  Part of the message also reads “To those who continue to believe the stories that all of Zacatecas has no owner”.
