number five iito MOA 2013 Frustrated by the increase in cartel activity in his town of Lana michan iito Mora Chávez, a Mexican farmer decided to take matters into his own hands and formed a self-defense group to combat the notorious Knights Templar cartel, this cartel had been causing chaos in the region with kidnapping threats and controlling the lime industry that local farmers depended on for their livelihood, but what really pushed MOA over the edge was when the cartel forbade his son to pick lemons on his own. arm and that was when MAA decided enough was enough, it took it upon itself to wage a relentless war against the cartel even without any help from outside sources.

In the end, he and his Vigilantes group successfully expelled the Meo cartel and his bravery and dedication were captured. He attracted the attention of the federal government and soon found himself developing close relationships with senior military officials and the federal police. His collaboration with them became crucial to locating the laboratory involved in the production of synthetic drugs, which eventually led to the arrest of several drug traffickers. After expelling the cartel left Michoacán, many fighters moved to other parts of Mexico to resume their fight against the

cartels

but Mora decided to stay in his hometown attending to his Lima Groves 2014 changed his mind when many turbulent events occurred within the US self-defense, the name given to self-defense groups, many prominent leaders were arrested, while others chose to make deals with the authorities to limit their power, as a result Eito felt he had to step up and take charge;

However, at that time, MOA was not the only one vying for leadership, Luis Antonio Torres, also known as El Americano, had formed his own group of Vigilantes and also desired control, however, Mora strongly opposed that El Americano took the initiative, why MOA accused him of working with the Knights Templar and made a solemn promise to do everything in its power to prevent him from gaining control; However, as the rivalry grew more intense, tragedy became inevitable. On December 16, 2014, a 2-hour gunfight broke out between gunmen from the two rival vigilante groups. The Crash resulted in the deaths of 11

people

. including six followers of the Americano and five of Mora's Group, which included his own son, although Mora suffered the heartbreaking loss of his son, he never gave up and continued his fight against the cartels both on the battlefield and through the media in which he also actively participated. politics constantly advocates for stricter laws against cartels June 29, 2023 Morrow was killed in a brutal armed attack he was ambushed and shot while traveling in an armored truck that was later set on fire now who killed him and why well, there was this other one leader of the self-defense forces known as Nicholas Sierra Santana AKA El Gordo originally El Gordo was a member of a faction within the Knights Templar Cell, however, he changed sides and joined the self-defense forces when he witnessed the decline of the influence of The Knights Templar, now eventually El Gordo along with numerous former Auto defenders decided to form their own drug cartel called Los Viagras, this cartel had since gained notoriety for their connections in rivalry with the infamous Halisco New Generation card.

Now let's return to the important question of how he was involved in Morris' death, although not immediately. Arrests were made after the attack. Different versions of the possible culprits quickly emerged. This was mainly because Mora had a strong belief that he could be killed during a conversation with a journalist. Mora said that Los Viagras had declared war on him. This was in response to Mora's decision. decision to reveal the location of several drug laboratories to the Ministry of the Interior, on top of that, MOA and El Gordo had a history. Mora despised him. El Gordo had betrayed the self-defense groups and had become part of what they were fighting against.

According to Guadalupe Mora, Ipolito's sister, it seems that the national guard, the civil guard and the army were somehow involved in the murder of her brother. She claims that during the attack there was not a single soldier or patrol in sight and guess how El Gordo knew how to manipulate the police to do his dirty work April 2020 the Secretary of National Defense arrested El's right-hand man Gordo in La Serena but had to be released when a group of cars carrying many of El Gordo's men stopped his convoy on the highway but believed whether or not, El Gordo had managed to avoid any charges in connection with Mora's murder.

So far, the son of the next person on this list was also murdered by a rival cartel, but what his father did in retaliation was far beyond anyone's wildest imagination. four Manuel Torres Félix 2008, when the son of famous drug trafficker lm1 was murdered by a rival cartel, his father completely lost her temper and went on this violent rampage without sparing anyone. The 1990s. Manuel Fidel Torres Félix first joined the Caloa cartel and quickly rose through the ranks. The ranks finally reached the top after his brother Javier Tores Félix, who led one of the cartel's factions, was arrested.

He then began working with Oido Guzmán López, son of Watkin El Chapo Guzmán, the former most wanted man in Mexico. Together they oversaw drug trafficking shipments coming from South America into Mexico now during this time the Caloa Cartel and the Blo used to be allies operating in the same small state of Siloa. 2008 things changed when the Beltron Lea organization split from this Alliance, their motivation was old fashioned greed, both cartels were hungry for the latest. power and there was no other option but for one of them to fall. LM1, being one of the prominent leaders of the Caloa cartel, was caught in the middle of this fierce rivalry, this would eventually lead to the most defining moment in his life that he sent to his world. spiraling On April 18, 2008, outside the Ministry of Health, in the mountainous residential district of Kuak Kan, a group of Sakaros working for the blo ambushed lm1's 20-year-old son, Tores a Costa, along with her little sister Alondra and l1's sister-in-law. -law leasia the sarios tried to kidnap Taurus aosta but he fought back, leading them to brutally shoot him and kill him right then and there.

The gunshots also injured the sister hitting her right arm and shoulder while the sister in law was wounded in her left leg, this incident flipped a switch in lm1's head, he went crazy and decided to go on a bloody killing spree now a few days later Upon the loss of his son, LM1 ordered his men to meet with as many members of the block as they could and bring him to his ranch for a horrible purpose. It was during this time that his sick psychotic nature came back to life. He subjected each man to torture. indescribable before finally taking their lives now one of his victims was the commander of the Municipal Police Roberto Carlos Barceló viagran lm1 he ordered that his back be cut into strips with knives and his legs were cut off before being Beed, that body was then dumped with two others in the trunk of a car while his sarians took the other bodies and threw them all over Kuak Kan Pop Quiz How many men did he kill in total?

Maybe you were thinking that two to three maybe five would have satisfied him. Let me tell you, it wasn't like that. In fact, for every man he killed, his bloodlust only grew stronger. It is believed that he tortured and killed more than one. 30 different sarios that belonged to blo with his own hands and ordered the murder of hundreds more, eventually lm1 earned the nickname El onado, which means the madman. Before long, the city of Kuak Kan began to resemble this chilling scene from a horror movie. The streets were contaminated with blood and lifeless bodies were in every corner.

In response, the Mexican government sent 2,000 soldiers to stop this violence and would eventually catch up to lm1, who was making great efforts to evade capture. On October 13, 2012, lm1 was killed in a shootout. finally ending her Reign of Terror number three Miriam Rodriguez January 23, 2014 everything changed for Miriam when her daughter Karen was kidnapped and murdered by members of Los Zetus after this tragic event Miriam dedicated her life to finding and ending each one of those kidnappers during that relentless search for justice Miriam went through great efforts, changed her appearance, watched the homes of cartel members and spent countless hours investigating social media in search of possible clues, but how did it all start on the 23rd?

January 2014 while Karen Alejandra Salinus Rodríguez was? While driving through San Fernando, two trucks suddenly stopped next to her and then armed men forced their way into her car and quickly drove off with her. The weeks after the kidnapping were a nightmare of phone calls, threats and empty promises. The family followed every instruction, desperately hoping that Karen would be safe. return Karen's father would even leave a bag of cash near a health clinic only to wait in vain at a local cemetery for release, but nothing happened and there were no other options. Maram made a bold move and requested a meeting with the cartel and her. surprise, one agreed, although he claimed he didn't know Karen's whereabouts, he offered to help for a fee of 2000.

Miriam would pay this amount, unfortunately it didn't lead anywhere, but he learned one thing: the name of the member of the cartel that had known her, Sama, with each failure. Attempting to rescue her daughter Miriam Miriam's desperation finally deepened one morning, weeks after the last payment, she went downstairs and confided in Aelia, her other daughter, and admitted that she had come to the painful realization that Karen would never would return and that she was probably determined to search. Justice for her daughter Miriam swore to never rest until she found those responsible for Karen's kidnapping, promising to hunt them down one by one until her last breath with meticulous deductive skills Miriam began to put together a puzzle around her daughter's kidnappers, first she would find the account of s.

Facebook was able to identify one of her acquaintances through her distinctive ice cream parlor uniform. Miriam would then wait outside the store for hours until she finally showed up and then follow him home, however, she knew that simply having her location would not be enough to force him. Putting into action Miriam needed more information and to get it she had to get closer, she cut her hair and dyed it red, making sure Sama didn't recognize her to promote the disguise she put on a government uniform that she had hidden from him. At her previous job at the Ministry of Health, she spent an entire day pretending to conduct a neighborhood survey.

Gathering basic details about Sama, she then went to local, state and federal authorities, but none of them helped her. Miriam refused to give up and finally found a federal police officer. She was willing to help, but he put her files on the table. She had never seen anything like it, said the officer who is still on active duty. Commander, although Sama managed to evade arrest at first, he was eventually arrested. Under pressure, he gave police the names of other cartel members. who later shed even more light on Karen's kidnapping, one even agreed to take the police to the ranch where she had been killed, while at the ranch Miriam found some important evidence: Karen's scarf, a cushion from her truck and even a femur, but Miriam refused.

Stop here, she continued her quest for justice and managed to locate and bring to justice a total of 10 cartel members involved in the kidnapping of her daughter throughout her journey. Miriam seemed to understand the risks involved, but she pressed on. She once said, "I don't." I don't care if they kill me. I died the day they killed my daughter. I want to end this. I'm going to take out the people who hurt my daughter and they can do whatever they want to me. Tragically, her words would prove prophetic. March In 2017, a group of 29 inmates managed to dig a tunnel and escape from a prison in Cudata Victoria where Karen's kidnappers had been imprisoned fearing for their safety.

Miriam contacted the authorities and requested police protection, the local police agreed to provide patrols to ensure her safety. However, two months later, on the same day that Mexico celebrates Mother's Day, danger finally reached her. The 57-year-old woman limped to the door of her house on crutches and had brokenrecently shot his foot while chasing a suspect. That's when a white Nissan driven by the escaped inmates pulled up in front of his house without warning and he was shot several

times

before quickly taking in the scene. Her husband had discovered her lying in the driveway clutching her purse where she kept the gun.

That brutal attack on Rodríguez angered people. throughout the state and led authorities to intensify their efforts to find his killers, while the government managed to arrest two of the culprits and one was killed in a shootout, many others unfortunately remained at large in Mexico. Miriam's story is all too common, what is different here is that when her daughter was kidnapped, she decided to take immediate action and would fight with all her might to get justice for her daughter, even at the cost of her own life number two Kiki Garena 7 On February 1985, four or five cars full of armed men were positioned outside the United States consulate in Guadalahara, Mexico, waiting for the DEA agent, Kiki Garena.

Once he left that consulate, the men who were part of Mexico's most famous drug cartel kidnapped him in broad daylight at gunpoint, that was the last time anyone except his kidnappers would see him alive. Again in the 1980s the Guadalahara cartel was at its peak its size and scope were different from any other drug organization in Mexico and its network of corruption extended throughout the country the masterminds behind this massive syndicate were Miguel anel Félix Gallardo Rafael Caro kto and Ernesto fona Kiola DEA knew that the cartel was responsible for smuggling thousands of tons of marijuana throughout Mexico and the US, so breaking the cartel's distribution network was Agent Gad and the number one priority in guadalahara was determined to take it down no matter what it took in november.

On the 14th, 1984, the Mexican military, with the help of the DEA, launched a massive operation to burn Bufalo morancho, which was a thriving operation for the Guadalupe cartel that produced billions of dollars a year in revenue. The raid resulted in the total destruction of 5,000 metric tons of marijuana. worth $2.5 billion, making the Buffalo Ranch raid the DEA's largest drug seizure, but who was responsible for this raid none other than Agent Gad himself and that made him the target number one of the cartel. It had not only humiliated him but also his once unbreakable control over the drug trade was now slipping out of their hands and they were determined to make him pay.

On February 7, 1985, Kiki left the American consulate expecting to have lunch with his wife. Taking the sign for granted, a group of armed men were waiting for him and surrounded him. forcefully pressing a gun against his side, then they pushed him into the back seat of one of their vehicles and drove away, taking him to a large house at 881 Lope De Vega where around 50 to 60 people, politicians, government officials and drug traffickers were celebrating the Kidnapping of the agent for two days Kamara was mercilessly tortured, beaten and burned. The men constantly stopped him on his back and chest.

They also brought in a doctor to revive him and gave him medication that would keep him conscious during the torture. But eventually the officer succumbed to his injuries, so they wrapped his body in plastic and buried him in a nearby park. Gado Ginto was excited that the agent was killed, but his associates knew that a dead agent was not going to sit well with the US during an interview. Félix Cardo said that he never intended to kill Kamara, since anyone who wanted to kill an agent had to be a madman willing to have the full force of the US government fall on him.

Sure enough, that's exactly what happened. The US government put incredible pressure on the Mexican government to find the people responsible. In the tragic eyes of his agent and to convey the message loud and clear, President Ronald Reagan completely closed the border between the United States and Mexico, which effectively compromised Mexico's economy, so Mexican authorities knew they had to do something a month after the body was seized. of agent kamena was found by the DEA 70 Mi on the outskirts of guadal lahara many things made the department suspicious of this discovery, it was immediately noted that there were no graves in the area where the bodies were found and there were no bodily fluids there either.

The forensic team would later discover that the soil was different from that removed from the body, so they concluded that the body had been buried elsewhere, exuded, and transported to the new site. The DEA believed that Mexican drug traffickers, with the help of corrupt Mexican officials, had invented it. a plan due to the pressure that the US government was putting on them, this plan fueled their anger even more and operation leenda or Leyenda was launched, which is to this day the largest search for drugs and DEA homicides ever undertaken by Special Agent Ecto Dees. He was put in charge of the case and eventually solved it with the help of his large network of Mexican informants.

Evidence was gathered. Arrests were made and everything led to Félix Gallardo and Cado Kinto. April 4, 1985. Kinto was the first to be arrested in Costa Rica and was extradited to Mexico 3 days later Ernesto fono Kio was arrested by the Mexican army on alert Vaya Villa Félix Gallardo was also arrested and the three founders of the Guadalahara cartel They were accused of the kidnapping and murder of Garena and sentenced to 40 years in prison and number one aljo Garza damez November 13, 2010 Don aljo, a 77-year-old man, received an ultimatum from Los Zetus to abandon his ranch in 2 4 hours or else he would face death.

It seems that the cartel definitely underestimated Don Alo, who was Not the type to give up without a fight 1933 Damez was born in Nevo León Mexico While growing up, he learned the importance of hard work to live an honest life when he entered adulthood, since Having built a solid financial foundation with this in mind, he decided to invest in 2,000 hectares of land in Tamale Leipus Mexico and named it San José. Rancho San José José quickly became Aleo's pride and joy and brought him great fortune, so when his ranch was threatened, he was willing to do whatever he could, even risking his life to protect it on the 13th.

November 2010, Don, 77, was undermining his own business supervising his workers at the ranch when several gang members showed up and ruined his peaceful day. Those men belonged to none other than the notorious Lo Zetta gang and, as you can imagine, I assumed they weren't around for a friendly chat, their message was very clear: get off your ranch within 24 hours or face the consequences, naturally, The cartel members expected him to surrender and hand over his ranch without a fight, but what he did next. He was beyond his wildest imagination when Lo zettas told him that he had 24 hours to get his things in order before they would come back and kill him if he was still on his property.

Don Aleo's response was I will be waiting for you, he decided that he would do it. He didn't give up his land to organize the crime without a fight and without wasting time he gathered his workers and told them not to show up the next day he simply couldn't risk their lives so he would prepare the ranch for the imminent battle making sure to gather all the firearms which she owned despite the country's strict gun laws, Dawn fought to obtain permits for a sizable collection of hunting rifles as if she knew she would one day have to put those skills to use in a matter of life. and death over the next few hours, she meticulously cleaned and set up every firearm she owned, from pistols to high-powered rifles.

She strategically placed IED weapons on every door and window of his ranch, transforming that house into a fortified military barracks, and true to his word, Dono waited patiently for the cartel's arrival on November 14, 2010 shortly after 4:00 a.m.: 00 a.m. A convoy of trucks arrived at the ranch. The heavily armed men got out of their vehicles and surrounded the ranch, clearly with the goal of intimidating anyone inside the house as a last step. warning, they fired into the air, probably hoping that no one was home and that the operation would be carried out without a single drop of blood being spilled;

However, what was supposed to be an easy takeover turned into an hours-long battle as soon as the bullets arrived. The rain that fell on them from the windows caught them off guard, so they quickly took cover and fired, believing that they had entered an ambush. They thought that this old man had gathered all his men inside this place to defend the ranch. how could they have done it? It is known that Don Alo ran from window to window shooting at him, he made it seem like there were a lot of people in that house, which made it difficult for the attackers to predict where the next bullet would come from.

The cartel even threw grenades at this place, but the shots kept coming from inside and more of their men kept falling looking around. The cartel members found themselves dropping like flies as the morning hours continued. The gunmen knew that the shooting would have alerted the authorities, so they decided not to seize the property and quickly fled. They left leaving six of their own behind and they were right, the Mexican marines had arrived shortly after their departure only to be greeted by a horrible sight: the property was littered with over a thousand bullet casings and the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder outside.

In the house they discovered four lifeless bodies while the remaining two were unconscious and when the marines entered the house they were left speechless. There lay the lifeless body of Don Alo, a 77-year-old man who had single-handedly taken down six Don gunmen. Alo fought with the same dignity, courage and honor as the greatest soldier there is, becoming a cultural hero praised for standing his ground against those who, if not stopped, would bring chaos and destruction to the world.
