By "Karamazov" for Borderland Beat On Wednesday, April 22, 2026, a major military operation took place in El Durazno, Tamazula, Durango—an area heavily contested by drug trafficking organizations within the so-called Golden Triangle. Initial reports claimed that Aureliano Guzmán Loera (“El Guano”) had been captured, but authorities later clarified he was not detained, although several others were arrested. According to the official report released by authorities, those detained include Abel “N,” identified as a right-hand man of “El Guano’s”; Eber Israel “N,” a financial and logistics operator responsible for procuring weapons, drones, and explosives; and Etzair Lugo “N,” the group’s security chief, tasked with confronting rival organizations. Seven additional individuals were also detained, although no specific charges have been disclosed.

“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat  In Colima, the alleged perpetrator of the double homicide of a bakery owner and his brother—proprietors of the *El Pichón* bakery—was arrested; the crime took place on April 14 in the state capital. The detainee has been identified as José Antonio N., alias "El 51."  Investigations link him not only to the murder of the bakers but also to at least seven other killings committed over the past two weeks—including the murder of three siblings in the capital's Alvarrada neighborhood, as well as that of a state police officer on January 2, 2026.  Colima’s Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection, Ricardo Gómez, reported that the detainee was a member of a criminal cell belonging to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), specifically the cell known as "Cobra."  "So, we’re talking about a hitman who executed seven people in just two weeks; this highlights the magnitude of the violence generators relative to the population of a given state, doesn't it? A single individual takes seven lives in two weeks."  During the same press conference, security authorities disclosed details regarding the operational methods of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel's criminal cells within the state.  "They are organized into squads of six operatives; notably, every participant or member within these groups is an outsider.
