According to figures from the Executive Secretariat of the National Security System, Colima accumulated 21 homicides during the first six days of April.

Violence in Colima has skyrocketed in recent months, following a fight that took place on January 25 in Cereso loca l. The confrontation resulted from the breakup of the CJNG against the Mezcales faction, whose stronghold is located in the homonymous colony. On that day there were 12 murders linked to organized crime in the entity, nine of which occurred in the prison center.

Almost two weeks passed and on the night of February 7 there were two executions, injuries and shootings against houses in the capital as in Villa de Álvarez. The following day, the narcomantas that declared war led by the Independent Cartel of Colima were deployed under the command of José Bernabé Brizuela Meraz, alias la Vaca.

During that week the nights of terror intensified, quartered, executions in the middle of the day, at night or at dawn, as well as shootings and closures of businesses and schools. Since then they identified the enemies to be defeated in the CJNG, the brothers Aldrin Miguel Jarquín Jarquín, El Chaparro and/or Chaparrito; in addition to José de Jesús Jarquín Jarquín, the R32.

Brizuela Meraz operators said that their former allies ordered the execution of Governor Indira Vizcaino, but the Colima Independent Cartel did not agree to avoid conflicts with the authorities in a case of this magnitude. Although they prevented that if the murder occurred, they would seek to blame the assassins of La Vaca.

In the midst of constant battles and the wave of terror, more than 1,500 soldiers arrived, as well as hundreds of agents of the Semar and the National Guard to accumulate 4,500 security personnel. But the narco-war does not give way, as the new criminal group promised to control the state and expel the subordinates to Julio Alberto Castillo Rodríguez, Chorro, Mencho's son-in-law.

A day before President López Obrador's last visit to show their support for the governor of his party, La Vaca and the Independent Cartel of Colima again insisted that the battle was against the CJNG, however they added the alleged death of their top leader, & nbsp; Oseguera Cervantes.

The criminal group attributed that the letters sent by the Mencho to his lieutenants are no longer in the same handwriting, as they came to José Bernabé Brizuela Meraz. In addition to internal differences, his separation from CJNG and struggle for the state would have resulted from not having the main leader at the head of the four-letter cartel.
