Beltrn Guzmn, also known as "El Mochomito," is the nephew of jailed leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, "El Chapo" Guzmn.
One of the most powerful criminal groups in the world is being fought over by El Chapo's brother, his sons, his nephew, and his former peer in the group.

Culiacn is the capital of the state of Sinaloa. Mexican marines killed Arturo in Cuernavaca in December of 2009. Carlos was captured in Culiacn a few days after Arturo's death. In October of 2014, he was captured in the state of Guanajuato.
Beltrn Guzmn became the new boss after the arrest of the top bosses. He declared war on the Cartel.
Beltrn Guzmn was arrested in the city of Zapopan in the state of Jalisco on December 9, 2016 after fleeing a military operation to capture him. He is accused of kidnapping two of El Chapo's sons from a restaurant in Puerto Vallarta.
In the summer of 2016 El Chapo's mother's home was robbed by about 50 armed men who were led by Beltrn Guzman. They were looking to kill Aureliano.

These people never forget. The fact that the Guzmn loeras believe they were betrayed by the Beltrns is an old problem that has not been solved.

Mexican authorities were unable to confirm or deny the allegations.
The US put out a $5 million reward for the leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, Aureliano "El Guano" Guzmn. Aureliano is described in a 2020 report as a "notable" Sinaloa Cartel commander and as responsible for shipping large quantities of fentanyl from contacts in China.
Two official sources told Insider that Aureliano is known for being more violent than his brother, and that he killed his grandfather for being unreliable.
The fighting between members of the Guzmn family may continue according to a former chief of the Drug Enforcement Administration's Mexico bureau.
Mayo Zambada is a member of the Sinaloa Cartel. He said that he was too strong and respected to be fought by someone like Aureliano or Los Chapitos.

"Zambada is an intelligent man, keeping his low profile but at the same time keeping a pyramidal organization in the Sinaloa cartel," he said.
The war is on in the gangs.

The state of Durango is where Aureliano's, Zambada's, and Mochomito's groups are fighting.
"Zambada has his people fighting for Durango." The Fuerzas Especiales Barrera were attacked recently by the Los Guanos, an armed group, according to a source.
The source said that the order and the agreement keep things calm in the sacred territory of Sinaloa.
The Jalisco New Generation Cartel is the most powerful in Mexico, but there are more than 400 gangs inside the country. The "war against cartels" started by the right-wing Mexican President Felipe Calderon has led to their proliferation.
