Sinaloa Cartel gunmen spread terror throughout their state in a violent response to the Mexican Army’s arrest of Ovidio “El Raton” Guzman Lopez, son of jailed kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman.
New information released during the Friday news conference held by President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador revealed that after the arrest, a convoy of 25 armored SUVs clashed with National Guardsmen who were providing support to the Army.
The fighting spread to other locations, including three homes, which ultimately left seven soldiers dead and nine more injured. Government forces used Blackhawk helicopters to provide air support.
