| Guadalupe y Calvo is a municipality in southern Chihuahua, located on the heart of the Sierra Madre mountain. It has a population close to 5,000, most of them indigenous Tarahumara people. |
Armed men killed four people during a rural assembly in Guadalupe y Calvo, Chihuahua. The incident took place while people from Redondeados rural community were voting for their local commissioner.
Witnesses said that three gunmen wearing ski-marks stormed a building at around 2:00PM on Sunday, 27 June 2021, and shot at several attendees.
Three people were killed at the scene: the siblings Omar Cuauhtémoc and Luis Arnaldo Vargas Guzmán, aged 45 and 47, respectively; and Aurelia Valencia Primero, 52. A fourth victim, Javier Vidal Valencia, aged 56, died at the hospital hours later.
Residents said that the police were slow to arrive at the scene following multiple emergency calls. They also said that the police did not agree to set up a security measure for the 800 voters that day.
This massacre occurred a few days after a large shootout was reported in Guadalupe y Calvo between gunmen of La Linea and Gente Nueva. Sources spoke of “dozens” of dead, but no authority confirmed the death toll. Eye-witnesses told the police that cartel members took the bodies with them after the shootout.
Guadalupe y Calvo borders the state of Sinaloa and is believed to be a turf controlled by Gente Nueva. This municipality is part of Mexico’s Golden Triangle and has large regions of opium poppy cultivation. In addition to drug production, illegal logging is also a profitable activity disputed by drug cartels in the area.
Officials from the State Investigatory Agency who were not authorized to speak with the press confirmed that the shootout broke out after La Linea, the former paramilitary group of the old Juarez Cartel, made an incursion to Guadalupe y Calvo in an effort to take control of Gente Nueva’s turf.
