The Mazatlan Plaza is controlled by the Los Chapitos or Los Menores faction of the Sinaloa Cartel. The two high-ranking lieutenants of the Los Chapos that control this key Plaza are Oscar Noe Medina Gonzalez “El Panu” or “El Lobo” and Luis Angel Castañeda Peña “El 40” or “El Titan”. Both El Panu and El 40, are believed to have direct contact with Ivan Archivaldo and Jesus Alfredo Guzman Salazar, El Panu is the principal deputy of Ivan Archivaldo according to the U.S. Department Of State.
