A man managed to escape his captors after being kidnapped on July 28th in Nicolás Romero, State of Mexico. Inside his vehicle, which was abandoned by the gangsters, was a narco message to be left next to his corpse after they planned on killing him.
The same group, La Nueva Alianza, formed by an alliance between the Unión Tepito and the CJNG is responsible for many killings and kidnappings in the region.
According to local news pages, around 9:00 p.m., on July 28, several gunshots were reported in the San Miguel Hila of Nicolás Romero, State of Mexico. After hearing the shots and seeing that one bullet had entered her home, one woman walked out to see four men on motorbikes fleeing the scene while another ran away on foot.
Municipal Police responded and found an abandoned black Ford Focus with a knife and rolled up narco message inside. The message, which the criminals did not have the chance to leave, reads:
This will happen to all of those who go jumping around, this will happen to them, you can all suck my dick.
Signed, Nueva Alianza
A woman claiming to be the man’s wife arrived minutes after, saying the car was her husbands. She stated that her husband was kidnapped an hour earlier, and she did not know his location.
Two hours later, the man was found alive, lying on a nearby street with two bullet wounds.
La Nueva Alianza is a relatively new criminal group formed out of the alliance between the Unión Tepito and the CJNG in Central Mexico, according to Milenio Noticias. They are primarily involved in robbery, drug sales, kidnapping, and extortion in the State of Mexico.
La Nueva Alianza is behind several kidnappings and killings in the region over the last weeks. On July 24th, a decapitated body and narco message signed by La Nueva Alianza were left in the municipality of San Francisco Magu, 45 minutes north west of Nicolás Romero.
The decapitated body was left hanging upside down from a tree. The next day, the head and narco message were found in another neighborhood. That message, written on the same paper as the undeployed message found with the kidnapping victim, reads:
(unclear) … the next will be your “family members” Brayan – “Montana”.
Signed, Nueva Alianza
