A strong confrontation between the Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartel (CJNG) against hitmen from Cárteles Unidos left at least a dozen hitmen killed on the Michoacán border .

According to reports verified by this means, 11 alleged members of the CJNG have been riddled with bullets by cells of Luis Enrique Barragán Chávez , known as the R-5 and/or Güicho de los Reyes . Although other reports indicate that the final balance is close to 20 people killed for the duration of the combat.

The intense shooting occurred in the adjoining limits of Buenavista Tomatlán , on the Michoacán side, as well as in the municipality of Jilotlán de Dolores , a mayor's office attached to the state of Jalisco . Residents assured that the fight began during the night of the recent October 5, but lasted for hours until the following day.

Preliminary reports indicate that the confrontation of the CJNG against the United Cartels was between the towns of Tazumbos , Rancho Nuevo , as well as in Las Lomas , whose domain corresponds to the criminal border of the forces of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes , el Mencho .

After the confrontation, gunmen from Güicho de los Reyes boasted victory translated into assassinated enemies, whose skulls were shattered by heavy caliber bullets and their bodies were left in the vehicles they used, along with the weapons that were not enough to defend themselves.

José Luis Segura Barragán , a priest of the diocese of Apatzingán , said in a message broadcast on YouTube that he was able to hear the noise of the shooting. At first, the priest thought it was an electrical storm, but later he realized that it was detonations of weapons.

No authority intervened, despite the fact that the Secretary of Public Security of Michoacán must maintain constant patrols in the border area. Neither the Army nor the National Guard attended, even though they have presumed their presence in that region of Tierra Caliente .
