In Mexico, a cousin of JoaquÃn “El Chapo†Guzmán was found dead on Wednesday . Residents of the town of El Ranchito in the state of Sinaloa heard gunshots from a distance around 19.15 and saw two cars drive away. The body was found the next morning, at an old Toyota Carola. El Ranchito is close to the town of Culiacán, the capital of the state of Sinaloa, the foundation of the drug cartel of the same name.
The victim was dressed only in blue shorts, his hands were cuffed and he was blindfolded. Police investigations have revealed that he was probably shot and killed with an AR-15 assault rifle, based on the cartridges found.
The victim was identified as Enrique Romero “El Juanon†Guzmán Rocha, who was the cousin of El Chapo. The role of his now murdered brother Enrique Romero was unknown. There was an arrest warrant from the Chicago court against Guzmán Rocha in a drug-trafficking trial. In July 2019, there was a failed assassination attempt on Enrique Guzmán Rocha in Sinaloa.
His brother Juan Guzmán Rocha, aka “Juanchoâ€, was liquidated in December 2011. This Juancho was responsible for the Sinaloa network for cocoa shipments shipped from the city of Guadalajara to the United States.
