A gunfight between cartel members and elements of the Mexican Army left five gunmen dead in a narcocamp in the southeastern part of the municipality of Miguel Aleman, Tamaulipas.
The events were recorded on Friday morning when elements of the Mexican Army, who were conducting security tours, spotted a truck going through a dirt road near “El Pedregal” ranch.
When they followed the truck’s tracks, they reached an abandoned house that was being used by members of the Northeast Cartel (CDN) as a hideout. The “CDN” legend was painted on the side of the house’s wall and on a vehicle’s door.
As they approached the place, CDN gunmen attacked them. The Army repelled the aggression and killed five of them. No pictures of the attack were released to the press.
This shootout occurred about a week after the CDN and the rival Gulf Cartel (CDG) clashed in Los Guerra, a village west of Miguel Aleman municipality. 9 suspected members of the CDG were killed and left on the road for public display.
Borderland Beat Analysis: Why Miguel Aleman?
Miguel Aleman is part of La Frontera Chica (also known as La Ribereña), a border stretch along the Texas–Tamaulipas border. In the context of the Mexican Drug War, it is a lucrative drug corridor currently under dispute by CDG and CDN.
The CDN, based in Nuevo Laredo, is trying to expand east into La Frontera Chica, which has historically been controlled by the CDG.
Miguel Aleman is an important plaza to control because it is one of the few municipalities in La Frontera Chica with a legal port of entry to the US. According to the US government, most drugs that cross the border come through existing ports of entry.
CDN traffickers looking to smuggle to the U.S. must use the Rio Grande River, Nuevo Guerrero municipality (west of Miguel Aleman), or go to Miguel Aleman for a port of entry. In addition, Miguel Aleman has a highway in Los Guerra that connects Tamaulipas to the state of Nuevo Leon.
Last week’s shootout was a demonstration of the CDN’s successful incursions in the area. The discovery of this narco-camp shows that they are planning further takeovers in Miguel Aleman.
The CDG commanders in the area are Cesar Morfin Morfin (“El Primito”) and his brother Alvaro (“R-8″). They have the support of another high-ranking CDG member known as “Metro 37″ and/or “Comandante Robledo”. The CDG in La Frontera Chica has the backing of the Nuevo Leon faction headed by “Comandante Cubano”.
Reports say that the CDN commanders in the area are Ricardo Chapa (“El Ricky”) and another suspect simply known as “El Amarillo”. These individuals report to the CDN boss Juan Gerardo Treviño Chavez (“El Huevo”).
