At least 29 people dead in Mexico cartel stronghold areas following arrest of El Chapo’s son, Ovidio Guzmán
Several cities in the northwestern Mexican state of Sinaloa exploded into violence this week after the arrest of alleged drug trafficker Ovidio Guzmán, son of the notorious former cartel boss Joaquin Guzmán .
The street battles killed 10 military personnel and 19 suspected members of the Sinaloa drug cartel, Mexican Defence Secretary Luis Cresencio Sandoval told media Friday, adding that cartel gunmen opened fire on troops with .50-calibre machine guns. One civilian airliner was hit. The gunmen also shot up airport buildings in a bid to prevent authorities from flying the captured cartel boss out of the city. But, Sandoval said, authorities anticipating the resistance had loaded Ovidio Guzmán onto a military helicopter to fly him back to Mexico City.
Juan Carlos Ayala, a Culiacan resident and Sinaloa University professor who studies the sociology of drug trafficking, said Ovidio Guzmán has been an obvious target at least since 2019.
