“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat
The long shadows on the ground tells us that the Mayo Zambada gunmen caught them by surprise just as the bright burning Mexican sun was coming up over the horizon. A clear morning mist can be seen way off in the background behind everyone.
Several Jalisco New Generation Cartel operatives are lying dead on the ground around them. None of their firearms, the tools that could’ve possibly kept them alive for the fight, are within arms length of any one shooter.
At this time it is believed that the CJNG gunmen were easily overrun due to their own negligence. Whoever was tasked with the responsibility of keeping everyone alive. Obviously got a little too comfortable in his surroundings.
* The events took place within the state of Zacatecas
