A very fluid and tense situation in the mountains of Sinaloa in San Jose de Las Delicias, known as Las Calabazas, Bacubirito, and Sierrita de Los German.
The internal war between Mario Alberto Lugo Lara, “Mario Calabazas” and the Fausto Isidro Meza Flores, “Chapo Isidro,” faction is at a standstill. Moreover, while Chapito Isidro may not be directly involved in the current fight, it is clear that Chapito Isidro approved the decision to go after his former ally, Mario Calabazas. As I mentioned before, some key lieutenants for Chapo Isidro are El Musico, El Sagitario, and El Felino. Chapito Isidro is the former right hand of Alfredo Beltrán Leyva, “El Mochomo.”
Carlos Manuel Salgado, “El Musico” with deep pockets is more of a mysterious figure who I have researched constantly, and what I can tell you is that he is just as powerful as Chapo Isidro, and his teacher was Arturo Beltrán Leyva, “Jefe de Jefes” or “Boss of Bosses.”
El Musico was a financial operator for Don Arturo Beltrán Leyva, and it is said that El Musico is married to a daughter of the late Arturo Beltrán Leyva. Sagitario (English: Sagittarius) is reportedly the security chief of Chapo Isidro.

I also wanted to shared a comment made on a previous articles I posted about Chapo Isidro VS Los Calabazas, on how tension started brewing between Isidro forces and Mario Calabazas.
I wanted to say to to all Borderland Beat readers we highly value your insight, and thank you for continuously reading our Borderland Beat site.
“It all starts with Maria Leon Rubio being a lover of Mario calabazas, she was fed up with power, during the 2021 elections in Sinaloa de Leyva, decisions were made by Leon Rubio to kill 2 of Morena’s political rivals, they stole the elections and killed Esteban Lopez Beltran and Roman Rubio Lopez.
The Chapito Isidro cartel knew there was a problem because after Leon Rubio finished her term she was missing millions of pesos in public infrastructure.
Again she tried to return to the chair with the support of calabazas.
When she was killed everyone knew it was silence because it was more trouble than help.
Mario did not like it… but the Chapito Isidro cartel has a new plan for the political map in this territory, they are the last bastion in north of Sinaloa.
Most likely El Gato is going to control that area, he has a very different approach when it comes to pressuring people for his own benefit…Mario Calabazas was a hot head.”
Today twitter account LaMasakr3 posted pictures of flyers distributed in Mocorito, Sinaloa, warning Mario Calabazas that Isidro forces will go after him at all cost.
MOCORITO, SINALOA
“📸 #Mocorito, #Sinaloa
Hundreds of flyers against an alleged criminal identified as “Mario Calabazas” appeared this Thursday morning in the streets of Mocorito and in some neighborhoods of Guamúchil such as Militar and “6 de Enero”, the latter located behind the temporary shelter where at least 90 displaced people are sheltered, as well as along Matamoros Avenue towards the Eustaquio Buelna dam.
With different messages, but demanding his surrender, they warn “Mario Calabazas” to turn himself in because his family is suffering a lot.
Apparently, a rival group of “Mario Calabazas” has been depriving his family of their freedom for several days somewhere in the mountains of the Sinaloa municipality.
It is worth mentioning that almost eight days ago, in several towns in this mountainous area, heavy gun battles broke out, a violent situation that forced hundreds of families to flee and take refuge in Guamúchil.”@LaMasakr3
“Mario Calabazas all your family is suffering because of your fault! You have caused lots of suffering to the population! We will not stop! We are going after you. Rat and Traitor!”
