On December 3, after a leak of some WhatsApp conversations, and the arrival of hitmen related to El Nini, the north of the state capital was in panic since that area was controlled by El Ruso.

On February 2, 2020, Isidro García’s men detonated large-caliber weapons in the La Campiña and Las Quintas neighborhoods.

On the 26th of the same month, in the Rubén Jaramillo neighborhood, a close collaborator of El Ruso was assassinated. This act was recorded and uploaded to social networks, causing fear among the inhabitants of the colony.

After this aggression, Gaxiola decided to take refuge in Agua Caliente de Los Monzón, along with Julián Grimaldi Paredes, godson of “El Mayo” and in charge of the production of fentanyl in the capital of Sinaloa.

According to US reports, after the attack, José Guadalupe Tapia, a man close to El Mayo, spoke with Iván Archivaldo and negotiated the withdrawal of El Ruso, leaving the territory to the Guzmán Salazar brothers.

By leaving the area of ​​Aguacaliente de Los Monzón and Paredones “free”, inhabitants of the region fear for their lives and on March 10 created the Rural Community Force of Peoples of the North of Culiacán who request the intervention of the Ministry of Defense.
