Independent Operator Killed In Attack In The La Arrocera Town Of Culiacán, Sinaloa (Warning, graphic video)

(Warning: I won't look at the video, I've seen visual material Borderland Beat does get, and it's authentic. One or two quick looks at their images tells you they are in touch with the real deal, somehow. I wonder about their safety!)

"Obscuro" on X shared the following Information.

"Cesar Bueno Martínez, an Independent Operator, was killed on February 3rd when he was intercepted by gunmen while traveling with his son along the Culiacán - Eldorado road in the La Arrocera town of Culiacán, Sinaloa.

Martínez, who formerly operated alongside the Dámaso family of the Sinaloa Cartel, was involved in the trafficking of methamphetamine in the State of Washington, where two presumed family members were sentenced alongside 14 other suspects.

According to James A. McDevitt, the former United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Washington, Jesus Guillermo Bueno-Martinez had been sentenced to 210 months in prison for possession of 500 grams of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, with Jesus Rogelia Bueno-Fuentes receiving a 9-month prison sentence for falsifying a social security number.

In the press release, McDevitt identified the family above members and 12 other suspects as belonging to the Zazueta-Bueno/Vaal-Lopez criminal organization, which has maintained a presence in Spokane, Washington since the late 1990s.
