A name has emerged as a key figure in an escalation of violence in Tijuana, Baja California. He is considered an operative for the Sinaloa Cartel’s Los Mayos in the border city. This man is “Cabo 27,” also known as “27,” revealed Tijuana’s Zeta Weekly.
This individual, identified as the mastermind behind several recent attacks, is currently a representative of traffickers Alfonso and René Arzate García, leaders of the faction now headed by Ismael Zambada Sicairos, known as El Mayito Flaco.
“Cabo 27,” who has changed sides multiple times, moving from the CAF to the Sinaloa Cartel, then to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), and finally returning to Los Mayos, is believed to be responsible for the 42 homicides so far in June. According to press reports.
According to investigations by state authorities, to which the Weekly had access, Cabo 27’s involvement in various criminal groups has allowed him to gain in-depth knowledge of the structures and key members of various criminal groups, making him a formidable adversary for his former allies.
