| Jose Domingo Carrera Bermudez, alias El 010, was found dead outside of Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua; he had been missing for several months |
A body found on the Pan-American Highway near Ciudad Juárez over the weekend has been confirmed as that of José Domingo Carrera Bermúdez, also known as El 010, a key figure associated with the Sinaloa Cartel faction operating in Parral municipality. Sources reported that he was abducted by armed individuals outside a horse racing track last August.
His body was found next to several blue plastic boxes that contained approximately 310 kg (661.387 lbs) of narcotics. Concurrently, at the same location, National Guard (GN) personnel discovered a narco-message addressed to the Secretary of Public Security of the State, Gilberto Loya Chávez.
The message issued a warning to Loya Chavez that the cartel in question will not tolerate the influx of synthetic drugs into the state of Chihuahua, specifically pointing to the border city of Ciudad Juarez.
The message further implicated the state police in allegedly supporting the Sinaloa Cartel. Notably, it provided specific details about the quantity of drugs left at the scene, explicitly stating it was to prevent any potential theft.

The banner reads: “This is the total [amount of drugs], do not steal it or [pretend] you can’t count it. In the state [of Chihuahua], this garbage is not tolerated. We are not desperate enough to traffic this garbage.”

Who is El 010?
Born in Zacatecas on 30 September 1982, Jose Domingo Carrera Bermudez, alias “El 010”, established his operational domain within the municipalities of the southern Chihuahua state on behalf of the Sinaloa Cartel.
Based on information provided by the Mexican Army, El 010 functioned as the second-in-command of the Sinaloa Cartel faction Gente Nueva in Parral and its surrounding areas.
This position was assumed following the January 2021 arrest of Hector Manuel Monárrez, alias “El Chapo Monarrez”, “Chapo M”, or “El 302”, making El 010 his direct successor in the hierarchy of the criminal organization.
Other sources say that El 010 was the financial operator of Antonio Leonel Camacho Mendoza, alias “El 300”, one of the Sinaloa Cartel leaders in Parral.
El 010 was arrested at least once on 28 October 2021 in Parral, Chihuahua, by the Mexican Army, but was later released. There are no public records that show his release date or the rationale for his release.
He has been linked to a series of cartel conflicts in Chihuahua, particularly in the June 2023 shootouts in Coronado municipality area, which resulted in at least 11 deaths.
